"Ordercrabs.com" Copy for Summer 2024

Under the piercing sun and swimming along with a rippling wave, blue crabs search out their feast of eelgrass, insects, clams, periwinkles and the like. They have one mission in their quest, to feed their hungry mouths! Along the way, they traverse quite a journey from the Atlantic Ocean as a zoea, “baby” to Tangier and Pocomoke Sounds through maturity. The lifecycle takes the Female “Sook” to the Bay’s mouth, where they like to spawn their eggs in the saltier water. Rushing currents take all the hatched zoea out to the ocean and once they grow to the megalopae stage, they swim vertically back into the Bay. They know the Chesapeake Bay serves as the best home! With a lifespan of about 3 years, the Male “Jimmies” swim up tributaries past Susquehanna Flats or any other of the 50 rivers that feed the Bay. Sooks have a different plan. They stay closer to the Bay’s mouth and deeper waters like the Bay Bridge Inlet.
