In contrast, most people would consider a natural enemy used against a marine pest, such as the green crab, to be unsafe if it were to significantly reduce Dungeness crab populations, even if the natural enemy was effective against the targeted pest.

Further, with increased salinity and benthic abundance and diversity, conditions are now more hospitable to a new assemblage of predators [e.g., Atlantic horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus), American eels (Anguilla rostrata), moonsnails (Euspira heros), and invasive species, including the invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas)].
