Italian scientists release juvenile octopuses into the Adriatic to control invasive blue crab populations
Summary
Italian researchers launched the "Octo-Blu" project to control an invasive blue crab species that has severely damaged Adriatic fisheries in recent years, especially shellfish production. Since June, approximately 80,000 juvenile octopuses have been released into the sea, with the goal of doubling that number by late August, as the common octopus is considered a powerful natural predator of the crabs.
