Caught this large crab in the swan river. Haven't seen anything like it before. Very large and much bigger than blue swimmers. Does anyone know what it is thanks

Colouration looks different, but similar shell shape?

At first site
At first sight I’d say a blue manner taken from the radioactive part of the Monty’s, but having a better look, check this site out. Maybe an Asian Paddle Crab?

Fisheries have identified it
Fisheries have identified it as a charybdis granulata. Tropical native crab from up north. Occasionally show up in the swan. They are collecting it today for research.
Looks tasty though
