Mud Crab Fishing Industry in Queensland, Australia

Mud crabs are as much a Queensland icon as Fourex or the Brisbane Broncos.

Mud crabs are harvested by professional fishers throughout the Queensland coast from Southport to Karumba, and generate almost $10 million in wharf value to the States economy. Mud crabs are sold mostly as an icon species to the tourist and restaurant trade.

@MrShmeeshmaw * Check the flap under the carapace of the crab, if it is narrow = male, if it is wide = female.
