Blue crabs are prey for humans, fish, birds -even other blue crabs! Soft-shelled crabs that have recently molted are especially vulnerable to predators.

Predatory fish like striped bass, as well as drums, eels, catfish, cownose rays and some sharks, rely on juvenile blue crabs as part of their diet.
