Hi all a question has come to my attention thru a pm. I feel maybe some of these questions may be good to hear from others in different states on their laws/reason for them. i will start with the main question

My pic is of 95% female crabs is this legal/illegal

Well here in mandurah i can assure any member of AA that its 100% legal as long as the female crabs are over legal size(all in my pic were close to an inch oversize) and arnt burried with eggs. Which is why i took the photo of them upside down so u can see no eggs.

Now having lived in mandurah most of my life Most locals take female crabs. I would say from my experience its the bluey's that are in troubble. Here in mandurah where i go the female baby crabs would outnumber the males 300 to 1 if not more. Im getting to the stage were i wonder if i should leave a big male blue i see as without him how will the females breed.

This may be different were you live so plz if so make a comment

1)do you see more baby male bluey's than female being born which may account for your state laws?

2) does water temps make a diference?

Plz add to this if u see fit
