SC - Chinese Crab - Charibdys japonica

[Elaine Koogler]

Things have changed a lot....it's much harder to catch the little buggers these
days.  They are so very popular that they've been seriously over-fished, and
therefore are more difficult to find.  I believe that Maryland, Virginia and
Pennsylvania may be working on an agreement to further limit the taking of blue
crabs...a real pity, but whatever it takes to preserve them for the future!
