Description
Portunus armatus (Portunus pelagicus) is widely consumed as a delicacy throughout the Indo-Pacific region, where it holds great commercial importance. Males are believed to become increasingly territorial in colder waters, which leads to comparatively lower densities; conversely, females cluster in such areas.
