"Blue Crab-Callinectes sapidus
Also Known As Hard-shells (not molting), Peelers (about to molt), Busters (started to molt), Soft-shells (just molted, not yet hard), Jimmies (adult males), Sooks (adult females), She-crabs or Sallies (immature females), Sponges/Sponge crabs (females carrying eggs).

The blue crab is a highly sought-after shellfish. Blue crabs live up and down the Atlantic Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico and are caught by both commercial and recreational fishermen. Its scientific name—Callinectes sapidus—translated from Latin means 'beautiful savory swimmer.'

Blue crabs are the most valuable fishery in the Chesapeake Bay. They are also major predators of benthic communities and are prey for many other fish species. Blue crabs are so treasured in the region that the blue crab is the Maryland state crustacean."
