The Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister)[2] makes up one of the most important seafood industries along the west coast of North America.[3][4][5] Its typical range extends from Alaska's Aleutian Islands to Point Conception, near Santa Barbara, California.[4] Dungeness typically grow 6-7 inches at their widest point and inhabit eelgrass beds and sandy bottoms.[6][7] Its common name comes from the Dungeness Spit in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington state, United States, which shelters a shallow bay inhabited by the crabs.[7]
