Question: Ano pinagkaiba ng Alimango sa Alimasag?

alimasag manipis ang armor na straight at long legged. merong dotted merong

Alimango, alimasag, talangka or kagang eh may bakla. AFAIK these crustaceans can change *** during growth. Males do more *** changing than females. There are male crabs that do not complete the transformation from male to female and reach adulthood this way. AFAIK, males can chang *** also if the female population is low/few.

Talangka is not a crablet. AFAIK, a crablet is either a young alimango, alimasag or talangka i.e. juvenile not fully grown yet. Talangka is mostly freshwater. Mud crabs (alimango) is freshwater. Almimasag (blue crab, although some are orange) are mostly sea water species. Kagang is the coconut tree crab. Tough shell but very tasty.

I used to fish for alimango and talangka with my grandfather when I was in elementary school.

But XTO is right: sa Ingles, iisa lang ang common na tawag dyan - crab.

Ali Mango - macho ang dating, matigas ang shell, eto yata ang may bakla, panalo sa sarap.

Ali Masag - hindi macho ang dating, malambot at my design ang shell, panalo rin sa sarap

Ali Atienza - hindi rin macho ang dating, malambot din at bulaklakin ang shell, talo sa election.

basta mas maliit at mahirap kainin yun alimasag, personally hinde ako kumakain konti lang ang laman, unlike alimango, cracker lang ang katapat...

nice info.

naalala ko nong bata ako, id set up bamboo traps for the kagang- these have one large claw and one small claw and usually live on land near bodies of water and dig their burrows. (or ibang kagang ba to?)
