Potamon Ibericus (1)
''Potamon'' is a genus of freshwater crab, freshwater or semiterrestrial crabs mainly found from Southern Europe through the Middle East, and as far east as north-western India. The only exception is the North African ''P. algeriense'', which also is the only Potamidae, potamid of mainland Africa. Twenty species are currently recognised. These crabs are omnivores that have a broad ecological tolerance. The adult Potaman reach up to 50 mm in size during their 10-12 year life span. *''Potamon algeriense'' *''Potamon bileki'' *''Potamon bilobatum'' *''Potamon fluviatile'' *''Potamon gedrosianum'' *''Potamon hippocratis'' *''Potamon hueceste'' *''Potamon ibericum'' *''Potamon magnum'' *''Potamon mesopotamicum'' *''Potamon monticola'' *''Potamon pelops'' *''Potamon persicum'' *''Potamon potamios'' *''Potamon rhodium'' *''Potamon ruttneri'' *''Potamon setigerum'' *''Potamon strouhali'' *''Potamon transcaspicum'' *''Potamon ilam'' *''Potamon elbursi'' Many ot ...

Potamon Fluviatile
''Potamon fluviatile'' is a freshwater crab found in or near wooded streams, rivers and lakes in Southern Europe. It is an omnivore with broad ecological tolerances, and adults typically reach in size during their 10–12 year lifespan. They inhabit burrows and are aggressive, apparently outcompeting native crayfish. ''P. fluviatile'' has been harvested for food since classical antiquity, and is now threatened by overexploitation. Many of the island populations are particularly vulnerable, and the Maltese subspecies has become a conservation icon. A population in Rome may have been brought there before the founding of the Roman Empire. Description Adult ''Potamon fluviatile'' may reach a carapace length of , with females being generally smaller than males. As with other crabs, the body is roughly square, with the reduced abdomen tucked beneath the thorax. The thorax bears five pairs of legs, the first of which is armed with large claws. The life span of ''P. f ...
