Authorities are calling for people to help hunt down the China-originated crab, "dead or alive," saying the species could affect the indigenous crab population in local waters.

The appeal has since gone viral on Chinese social media, with numerous people offering to "dine out" on the mitten crab, which is considered a traditional delicacy in Chinese cuisine.
