Stock Photo - PRODUCTION - 31 May 2023, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Rerik: A fisherman empties the nets with freshly caught Baltic crabs in the fog against a sky colored orange-red by the rising sun on the Salzhaff. Since time immemorial, the female crabs migrate at the beginning of June in the Salzhaff between Wismar and Rerik to spawn in the direction of the open Baltic Sea. It is the only place on the Baltic coast where the crustaceans are still caught today. Especially local gourmets appreciate the fresh Baltic Sea crabs, but their catches are minimal compared to the North Sea. Photo: Jens Büttner/dpa. - Rerik/Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania/Germany
