Overview: about ridged swimming crab

Ridged swimming crabs are minor but feisty catches over coral reefs in WA, NT and QLD. They're often incidentally caught using small jigs or baited hooks in 5-20m while targeting other reef species. Not typically targeted for food, they're more of a bycatch curiosity.
