Jonah crabs possess a rounded, rough-edged carapace with small light spots, and robust claws with dark brown-black tips.

  1. cancer borealis

    Cancer borealis, commonly known as the Jonah crab or Atlantic rock crab, is a species of crab found on the eastern coast of North America, particularly in the Atlantic Ocean. They are typically brownish in color, and their carapace (or shell) is generally wider than it is long. Jonah crabs are often harvested for their meat, which is considered a delicacy. They are called "Cancer borealis" because 'Cancer' is the genus name and 'borealis' refers to their Northern distribution.
