Polybius vernalis
Species of crab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polybius vernalis, the grey swimming crab, is a small, shallow-water crab in the family Portunidae.[1] P. vernalis was believed to be a strictly Mediterranean species[2], but newer evidence implies its presence in the North Sea is not that recent.[3][4]
