What type of crab is known to be indigenous to the South Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea?

Stone crab is known to be indigenous to the South Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. This crab is particularly recognized for its unique claws, which are prized for their sweet and tender meat. Stone crabs possess the ability to regenerate lost claws, which allows for sustainable harvesting; the claws are often harvested while the crab is returned to the water to grow new ones.

In contrast, Dungeness crabs are primarily found along the Pacific Coast of North America, particularly in the coastal waters from Alaska to California. Blue crabs are typically found in the Atlantic waters, especially in estuarine areas along the eastern United States, but they are not restricted to the South Atlantic and Caribbean Sea. King crabs inhabit colder waters of the northern Pacific Ocean, especially around Alaska and Russia, making them unsuitable in the context of this question regarding the South Atlantic and Caribbean regions.
