The officials of a commercial fisherman were caught in what was identified Chinese Miten Crab According to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Division, the Washington State has released a picture of crab last week on the Lower Colombia River, right south of the Border border.

Officials warned that the species had destroyed San Francisco Bay three decades ago.
“Although it is a rare event in Oregon, the Mittan crabs caused significant infrastructure and environmental damage around the San Francisco Gulf when the population was in its height in the late sixties,” the department said.
Officials said the crab was a huge male that can be illegally introduced into the river from a person or a ship to ballast water.
What is the Chinese Miten crab?
Chinese Miten Crabs are an offensive species that originally came from East Asia. Smithsonian says that crabs established an aggressive population in San Francisco in the first ’80’s’ 80s – but they spread on the east coast and remained Has recently been spotted In New York.

What is next
Oregon Wildlife Biologists work with Fish and Wildlife and NOAA in Washington, to determine whether the other Mitten is in the crab. Officials say they will set up trap lines and collect water and samples “to look for specific environmental genetic markers related to Miten Crab.”
In the meantime, officials are urging the people to monitor the Oregon Department of the Council of Fish and Wildlife or Oregon, the Oregon Department of the Council.
