Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
Wales boasts a significant crab fishery, primarily targeting Brown Crab (Cancer pagurus) and Velvet Crab (Necora puber). The cold, clear waters off the Welsh coast, particularly around Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula, provide ideal habitats, contributing to a high-quality product. This sector is vital to coastal communities, supporting local economies and maintaining traditional fishing practices.
