Counts of amphipods, Fucus and Asian shore crabs at two sampling locations in the northern Wadden Sea

Field and Laboratory experiments were performed to study the feeding ecology of Hemigrpasus takanoi and C. maenas. Experiments were done between 2017-2020 on oyster reefs near the island of Sylt (Wadden Sea, North Sea). Data were collected to investigate the effect of a non-native crab species on native community. We used exclusion experiments in the field and feeding experiments under controlled conditions at the lab.
