摘要
我国幅员广大,地处温带与亚热带之间,海岸线长达万余公里。各海沿岸的潮间带与近海海底的性质多种多样,特别是南海沿岸,除泥、沙滩和岩岸之外,又有热带特有的珊瑚礁和红树林等特殊生境,极利于生物栖息繁育,因此动植物的品种甚为丰富,甲壳动物中的蟹类区系亦不例外。
There are approximately 500 species of crabs found in China Seas.With the exception of the indigenous warm-water species found along the coasts of China and the North Pacific immigrants found in the Yellow Sea,most of them are tropical and subtropical elements distributed widely in Indo-West Pacific region.The distribution of the warm-water species in China Seas and the neighboring waters is greatly influenced by the Kuroshio warm current,which brings the tropical elements from the South China Sea or the Philippines,passing by the Taiwan Island and the Loo Choo Archipelagoes more to the Pacific side of Japan than to the coastal waters of-China,with only a small portion penetrating into the Japan.Sea,in which they extend their distribution as far as the northern shores of Honshu and farther northwards to the southern shores of Hokkaido and Sakhalin.But on account of the continental climatic conditions and the Oyashio cold current from the North Pacific,the hydrological conditions of the North West Pacific again remarkably influenced,and consequently,the composition of the crab fauna in the region between China,Japan and Korea or even in the coastal waters of China is modified to a certain extent.
