Attack of Stalin's monster crabs. (love that heading!)
An explosion in numbers of a species of giant crab is causing concern amongst environmentalists.
Millions of Kamchatka or Red King Crabs have already spread around 400 miles south from northern Norway.
The monster crustaceans, which were introduced to Europe by Stalin in the 1930s, have a claw span of more than three feet and can weigh in at 25 lb.
More than 10 million have reached the Lofoten Islands in northwest Scandinavia, all but eliminating populations of other species such as Northern clams in their wake.
The crabs are caught for food by Norwegian fishermen, but only in small numbers because of seasonal licences and regulations limiting boat size.
Chilli sauce anyone?
