shot in the dark

Post by Scott G »

Hello,

Took a shot of these two nudi's and upon further review, saw 2 crab recently settled out on them... the better part of juv Dungeness have settled out and are quite a bit larger now... this shot was taken in a rocky area about 45' deep, typically i see no evidence of dungies adult or juv where i saw it. Don't know how to tell the difference of all the other cancer crab juv's... C. oregonensis or C. antenarius? my guesses... any idea? Greg?

Thanks,
Scott

Upper one looks like a Cancer oregonensis- can't see enough of the other one.
