Imagine how low the chances are for a crab with no claws to survive.. That's why us casual people leave that one claw on..

@HunterBidenscrack

Leaving one claw leads to a higher mortality rate.

@billlee1724

2 ай бұрын

Leaving one claw makes the crab think it’s still capable of defense and hunting but it’s severely compromised missing a claw. When you take both the crab goes into scavenger mode and eats food off the bottom, stops hunting and stops picking fights lol. Taking one is only for females.

@Sniperboy5551

2 ай бұрын

@HunterBidenscrack That’s not true, but taking both claws doesn’t increase the mortality rate enough to justify only taking one. If you take one, take two because the statistics support it. One claw is about 50/50 mortality. If taking the second claw only raises mortality to 80%, take two. The math works out, especially since females (which are protected) produce a ton of baby crabs, but they only need one male. I’ve been drinking, but I’m pretty sure that’s basically how it works.

The mortality stats vary quite a bit depending on which study you look at. The current system works, so why change it? Even a declawed male crab can still reproduce and they don’t harvest from egg-bearing females. 20% survive, so I don’t see how it’s a waste when the ones that die end up back in the food chain anyway. I’m not good at articulating the rationale, but it makes sense. They’ve done plenty of statistical analysis in implementing the policy.

Once there are dog excretion on apples, they will no longer look as good as they were. A smudge of dog excretion on good apples will reduce their value and they will no longer look as good as they are supposed to be. Will you eat an apple if you see dog excretion on it?

Poor camera man lol I give him props bc its never fun to throw up while on the waves

In my country its actually illegal to break off the claws of the crab, and throw it back out, alive. The crab uses its claws to eat, and defend itself, so when you remove both, they have a high chance of dying.. Slowly. From hunger. Or if they are lucky, you break it off at the wrong spot, so they bleed out quicker. Its a dumb practice that simply doesnt work for the intented purpose.

Love the videos sonny, especially the east coast trip. All my favorite KZreadrs, Jacob, CJ, Luke and guga. Keep up the good work!!

I just think it is wrong to take both claws . A crab needs to eat too . Now how is the crab going to survive to eat when it takes 2 years to grow its claws back just take 1 claw .But anyway you might as well put it out its misery and eat it all .

If you haven't yet, please do a video on the Southern California lobster fishermen and include a piece about the illegal lobster business in Mexico. Also, the Pacific marlin fishing is spectacular. Always great, great videos.

So I lived in Florida for 22 years I would freedive for lobsters and stone crab claws I've had fresh Maine lobster before and the reigning champion in my book is a colossal Stone Crab claw. I also would work the grass flats at night with a flashlight and a net catching blue crab and shrimp at certain times of the year. Seafood was my primary diet. I live in the midwest now and if you want to know what grouper tastes like go catch a crappie. The only difference is the size of the fillet the flavor is the same and the texture is the same.
