My comment:

Centollas are a species of king crab in Peru and I've seen the name used also on English language sites. I'm not familiar with this spp., but having lived most of my life in the Chesapeake I am familiar with the blue crab and the industry associated with it. Ovulated blue crabs are known as "busted-out sooks" because they carry the cluster of eggs on their apron (analogous to the "tail fin" of a lobster).
