The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), originally from the western Atlantic Ocean, has recently spread to the Mediterranean and is now considered one of the one hundred most invasive species in that region. This opportunistic species, known for its adaptability to different temperatures and salinities, negatively impacts biodiversity and human activities such as fishing and tourism in the Mediterranean. However, the blue crab is gaining interest as a potential food resource due to its high nutritional value and delicate, sweet flavor. Its meat is rich in protein (14% to 30%), omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and other essential nutrients beneficial for human health such as vitamins, and minerals. Utilizing this species in the production of new foods could help mitigate the negative impact of its invasiveness and offer economic opportunities. One challenge with this potential resource is the generation of waste. Approximately 6–8 million tonnes of crab shells are produced worldwide each year, leading to disposal problems and concerns regarding environmental sustainability. To improve economic and environmental sustainability, there is a need to valorize these residues, which are an important source of proteins, lipids, chitin, minerals, and pigments that can be processed into high-value-added products. However, especially in areas with industrial pollution, attention should be paid to the heavy metal (Cd and As) contents of blue crab shells. Studies suggest that blue crab by-products can be used in various sectors, reducing environmental impacts, promoting a circular economy, and creating new industrial opportunities.

Lampros LamprinakisAbstract
The chapter addresses the impacts of ethics in business’ competitiveness as they are naturally emerging in an embedded firm—i.e., a business organization that is “lifted out” from its market environment and instead explicitly takes into consideration social and environmental factors—e.g., socio-historical capital, environment, local resources, etc. In doing so we adopt the realist approach of the “soft” Polanyian interpretation of embeddedness where business organizations retain their corporate nature and continue to operate in the market economy; embeddedness is then built around the market economy and is expressed on the way the business organization is active in its relevant markets. Capital accumulation and other conventional corporate goals continue to drive the firm’s behavior which is now further impacted by local socio-ecological systems and a greater sense of responsibility and purpose.
