The stone crab fishery in the Bahamas operates sustainably, employing specially designed traps exclusively for capturing stone crabs without harming other species. Fishermen retrieve the traps, carefully extract live crabs, and delicately detach one claw, ensuring the crab retains its ability to defend and nourish itself upon release back into the ocean. The removed claw regenerates during molting, a natural process where the crustacean sheds its old shell to facilitate growth. Upon molting, the soft shell beneath hardens rapidly upon contact with seawater, ensuring the crab’s continued vitality.
