CRAEX
Craex Barcelona was born to fight the invasive species of blue crab. A shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico that is causing serious damage to Mediterranean ecosystems, destroying the habitat of different species and reducing the captures of many others.
Due its high voracity and lack of natural predators in these waters, allowing the rapid development and expansion of the specie throughout the Mediterranean, it has become an environmental problem in different countries.
Craex’s objective is becoming a pioneer company in catching and commercializing this invasive specie to markets where it has a high value, such as Asia and America. We have been successfully carrying out this activity for the last two years.
Our future is focused to keep working on the same problem and its derivatives in a 360º approach. We have set two objectives for the coming years, the use of the entire crab, including shell and exoskeleton, for the development of biopharma products and electrical engineering. We also aim to study and control the specie through experimental crab farms for a sustainable future of this species in the Mediterranean.
