Empty Blue Crab Shell On The Beach With Barnacles Stock Photography

The empty shell of a Blue Crab on a beach on Long Island, New York. No claws. Olive, blue green carapace. Callinectes sapidus, the Atlantic Blue Crab. Of both culinary and economic importance in the USA. A few black barnacles cling to the top of the shell. Points on either end and along what was the front facing side of the crab. A bit of red seaweed on the wet sand.
