Liocarcinus holsatus is a species of marine swimming crabs from the genus Liocarcinus of the Portunidae family .

Like other members of the family, Liocarcinus depurator is characterized by the transformation of the fifth pair of legs into wide lobes, which are used for swimming ^[2] .

It lives in the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the English Channel ^[3] . The width of the carapace is up to 40 mm; its color is brownish-gray with a green tint ^[4] . Outwardly, it is very similar to the crab Liocarcinus depurator ^[4] .

The diet of Liocarcinus holsatus includes crustaceans, especially juveniles of Crangon , mollusks such as Spisula elliptica , and fish ^[5] . Sometimes Sacculina parasitizes on it ^[4] .
