F.5-3 Guam and CNMI Military Relocation (2012 Roadmap Adjustments) SEIS Draft April 2014 SPECIES PROFILES – TERRESTRIAL AND MARINE Common Name: Coconut crab Chamorro Name: Ayuyu Scientific Name: Birgus latro SPECIES DESCRIPTION The largest terrestrial crab, and the most terrestrial of the decapod crustaceans due to well-developed thoracic lungs. Considered a hermit crab, but only use the shell of other mollusks during very early life stages. Body color varies between shades of light violet to deep purple to brown. Body length can be up to 16 in (400 mm) and weight on the order of 8.8 lbs (4 kg). Males and females are difficult to distinguish from one another, but males are generally larger.(1) THREATS Threats include overharvesting and modification of habitat. Highly prized as a food item, as large body size provides substantial amounts of flesh. Commercial interest has led to declining numbers.(1) ECOLOGY Found on land after the juvenile phase. Older juveniles begin the move from water, and adults only visit the ocean to hatch eggs and drink seawater
