Scientific Name: Portunus sanguinolentus
The Three Spot Crab, also known as Portunus sanguinolentus, is a species of crab found in the Indo-Pacific region. It is named after the three distinct spots on its carapace, which are two large spots on the front and a smaller spot in the center. The coloration of the Three Spot Crab varies from light brown to reddish-brown.
This species of crab is commonly found in shallow waters such as estuaries, lagoons, and coral reefs. They are usually solitary creatures but can occasionally be found in pairs or small groups. The Three Spot Crab feeds on a variety of foods such as small fish, crustaceans, and other marine invertebrates.
The Three Spot Crab is often caught for human consumption and is considered a delicacy in some countries, particularly in Southeast Asia. They are also commonly used as bait for fishing. In addition to their value as a food source, the Three Spot Crab plays an important role in maintaining the health of coral reefs as they help to keep the population of small invertebrates in check.
