Plate 50 from Zoological Drawings by Ferdinand Bauer: A Vibrant and Detailed Illustration of the Blue Swimming Crab, Portunus pelagicus This stunning and intricately detailed illustration is Plate 50 from Zoological Drawings by the renowned Austrian artist Ferdinand Bauer. The drawing depicts the ventral view of the Blue Swimming Crab, a large and vibrant crustacean native to the Indo-Pacific waters. With its distinctive blue coloration and powerful claws, this crab is a captivating example of the diverse marine life found in Asian and Indonesian waters. Bauer's illustration showcases the crab's unique features, including its elongated and slender body, five pairs of legs, and the distinctive shape of its chelae or claws. The Blue Swimming Crab is a decapod crustacean, belonging to the infraorder Decapoda and the superorder Peracarida. It is further classified as a brachyuran crab, meaning it has short and broad pereiopods or legs. The Blue Swimming Crab is also known as the Blue Swimmer Crab, Blue Manna Crab, or Portunus crab. It is an important species in the Indo-Pacific region, and its meat is highly valued in various cuisines. This crab is an excellent swimmer, making it a unique find among crabs, and it is often found in shallow waters near coral reefs. Ferdinand Bauer's Zoological Drawings are renowned for their exceptional quality and accuracy, making this illustration an invaluable resource for scientific research and conservation efforts. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this Blue Swimming Crab drawing are a testament to Bauer's exceptional artistic skills and his dedication to documenting the natural world.
