Sea Grant study finds Chinese mitten crabs appear free of human parasite lung flukes

ioaccumulation of contaminants like mercury, selenium, arsenic and DDE (a byproduct of DDT) within the crabs.

The nation's Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force has federal jurisdiction over the problem. Culver sits on the Task Force's Mitten Crab Control Committee, which has been asked to develop and oversee the implementation of a management plan. She said the committee is addressing four main issues: preventing the crab's spread; detecting new populations; reducing its negative effects; and, controlling its numbers.
