Doesn't it seem premature to accept this generic designation? In particular, this designation by Ng et al. is not supported by the molecular study of Harrison. So, I suggest reversion back to Cancer. -- 192.211.24.221 ( talk) 23:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
It looks to me like the picture labeled "Ganges Harbour" is actually of a Red Rock Crab, not a Dungeness, though it is a little hard to tell because the crab is so covered in barnacles and mud.
I deleted "Dungeness crabs average 25% edible meat" because it's unclear. Does it mean:
- If you take all the meat out, 25% of it is edible? I don't think that's right. - If you take all the meat out, it weighs 25% of the weight of meat+shells? Maybe - If you take all the meat out, it'll take up 25% of the space that meat+shells would? Maybe.
Citing a source here would help. Travisl 16:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
It would be nice if someone would include the age required to grow large enough for consumption. I've heard that these crabs take quite a few years to get big enough to eat. --

Maturity at around two and one half years. Legal size is six and one fourth inches. Most like the legs, calws, and body meat, not including the organs and such. Some boil the crab in ocean water, this gives it a distinctive flavor. Refer to the main article for further details. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dungeness crab ( talk • contribs)
It would be great if somebody could give a hint about the pronounciation of "dungeness". -- Stilfehler 13:55, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
The cookery section's a mess. There's no cites, except for a video about getting to the meat. The statement that "Dungeness crabs can typically be purchased either live or pre-cooked" contradicts "keeping them alive in aquaria for even a day will degrade their quality." And my personal experience (which is not a reliable source, I know) is that they will eat outside of their natural environment -- I caught one in Hood Canal, tossed it in a 5-gallon bucket with sea water and a fish, and two hours later, there the crab was in the bucket with only half a fish.

What is meant by the starvation process that is mentioned in the article?
Shouldn't this be in (miniscule) small letters? i.e. dungeness crab

I just added in a section about cracking crabs as a way of preparing them and now I see that someone has removed it. Why are you doing this? 2605:8D80:461:F65:18B4:A021:8026:D695 ( talk) 07:56, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
I have been going through and trying to make sure all the source links work and are credible. The source https://www.dungeness.com/crab/ does not contain original information but does not list sources. I do not think this is a credible source and so am deleting it. Feel free to undo this change SprengerSprenger ( talk) 05:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
The citation for the video on how to crack crab does not appear to be working. I feel like the information linked to this source could be found in other sources. SprengerSprenger ( talk) 05:45, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
In the second paragraph in the mating and ecology section, it addresses a parasite the crabs can have. This does not seem to fit in this section. I understand that the information stemmed from the description of the environment, but it seems like the specifics of the parasite could be addressed in a separate section.
