If fisherman were catching that many 'blue crabs' in Australia, it would be a good news story!
Maybe it's good for us (as a food) but not for the native species
Get the crab pots ready boys let's go
25 bucks a kilo .. yeah Imma go and get mah scoop net ready.. watch out for the fisheries tho.. Make sure get the right side...!!
LOL! Exactly! Blue swimmers fetch top dollar prices. i gave up buying them to eat over 20 years ago and now if I want to eat one or two or three I'll endeavour to catch them myself if I feel the need. OR Maybe a planned trip to Tunisia for a crab fest like no tomorrow!
Imagine a silver miner complaining about having their yield reduced... because they kept getting gold 🤷🏻♂️
I'm from tunisia, fish is over 500% the old price because of this and sea food transferred from an affordable food to a luxury food a few minority can afford also this crab almost has no meat
now imagine getting 10 gramms of gold instead of 10 tons of silver
@Joe Costner yeah but sardines cost a month pay per kilo
not the same thing,
@@chawkichalladia1812 Sounds about right. I was in Tunisia in 2006 and the seafood was seriously cheap compared to other places I've been to.
create a signature dish at some famous restaurant and let some media do its magic. Over time, these crabs would be wanted domestically and emit less carbon sending over to Asia.
people who cares about carbon in air is gay man lord
We eat a different species of blue crab in the United States capitol region, our crabs live in the Chesapeake bay. The signature dish is crab cakes, which is basically a croquette of crab meat mixed with egg and breadcrumb. It's common to substitute mayonnaise instead of fresh egg. Economically, you could mix egg white powder with the aforementioned crab protein bio-product to replace bread crumbs, and then sell something equivalent to the Japanese shrimp burger.
Bring that blue crab here in New Orleans... lets see how invasive it can get.
Lol we can't even handle snakehead silver carp taking over our waters
Plus lion fish
Blue crabs would thrive
Us Americans are too spoil
Bring that in here in Philippines diba kaingon gyud mog yawaaa
Dude, blue crabs are delicious. Just market them to the people, then go on a crusade
I think I'd like Tunisian humour: calling the craps Daesh is hilarious.
As someone who is from tunisia
I can confirm that i really dont know what the real name for the crab is
We call it Daesh so often that its the official name
Oh this grab is in good demand in South East Asia, particularly in Vietnam.
It IS from south east asian waters
Blue crabs are excellent eating. They are easy to catch, boil them like you would crawfish, and then they are easy to eat. The blue crab are common here in Texas. During the summer my buddies and I would spend the days crabbing along the marsh, then have a crab boil in the evening. Those were good times. Start using crab traps, makes catching them mush easier.
2 years later From DW: Blue crab under threat due to over fishing
its an invasive species dont try to make fun of what you dont understand
@@ronaldharris6569 its just a joke man..and a harmless one at that.
@@harrellt1405 my bad I took you seriously
Typical scientists. Unless they can raise alarm over something, they all be out of work. Just look at how many of them are drawing a paycheck over this invasive blue crab. 10 yrs from now, they’ll be complaining that blue crabs are being overfished. “They found that blue crab are rich in protein”. Lol. They just now finding that out? Lol.
Someone needs to send a few tons of Old Bay to these folks.
While here in South East Asia it's getting harder and harder to fish for Blue Crabs. It's getting more expensive.
It may be a different type of blue crab but here in the states we love them and they ain’t cheap.
i don't see this being a problem, BOIL CRABS
Blue crabs in Aust. About $20.00AUD per Kg whole
We use that blue crab for our "crab curry" here in indonesia.. hopefully this is gonna be a win win solution for all 🙏
mungkinkah krn dagingnya sedikit jadi mereka tidak terlalu niat untuk mengolahnya?
The problem is they used to get barrel of fish per day, now it's small basket of crab. People need to be fed
@@BearMeOut Keep catching and cooking the crabs to even out the number. Eventually the fish part should turn around.
That’s perfect! It’ll give the Mediterranean countries a boost in food market profit 👌
More like bitter-sweet.
Short term profit for some. But all other regular fish in the Mediterranean are severely hurt by the invasive species.
It's a net-loss, as it will take a very long time to get back the fish that were fished there before.
dude. they've destroyed the fishing industry. that some people can hang on by catching them isn't a win. 10 - 8 + 3 isn't profit; it's a loss
Nope i like our regular fish better
That was an interesting video 🦀
So they decided to make a profit from this invasive species ..... thinking outside the box ✔️💯
@@ibizaa4603 yeah. Are you?
Send filipinos there. We got you covered.
Helping the economy and the environment. You love to see it.
More Filipino got rich because of this blue crab.They dont use nets but use bamboo basket that submerge in the sea and left it overnight. They use several bamboo basket and each basket can catch 10kilos of blue crab plus other types of fish. They can harvest everyday almost 200kg of crabs everyday. They sell it at 300 peso ( 6 USD) per kilo to the retailer and the retailer sold it for 400 peso (8USD) per kilo. Very easy work because they drop only the basket in the sea from 6pm to 8pm and then they will return in the morning at 4am to 6am to harvest the basket.
What’s new? Crabs have been spreading through College campuses for decades.
Lmao I see what you did 🤣
The same thing is happening in New England. The Asian green crab is wreaking havoc on the ecosystem. Native crabs are being driven to extinction. Lobsters and other species are suffering terribly. Clam beds, mussel beds and scallop beds are being wiped out.
In asia we’d eat them dry in bout a year we don’t have an invasive blue crab problem 💀
In our country Philippines Blue crabs are more expensive than a fish
i like crabs. i miss crabs buffet now lol
I love turtles! They are awesome! And they eat jellyfish. Which is a huge problem in every sea.
Please ship them all to Asia! They are delicious!!! We will help you eat them for free!!!
Lol
That crab powder might become a much larger thing.
you are using energy to turn a delicious succulent delicacy into a generic tasteless protein powder!
- Blue Swimmer Crabs - They hit the jackpot lol
Watching this like “there’s a TON of blue crabs by me I’m NY, they’re NATIVE to here and NOT a problem so.. HOW exactly can they be a problem elsewhere?!”
... then they start reading off what they eat there and I’m just like “oh, yea.. yep we don’t have that here”
Dad: What happened to our family car's tires?
Son: 😳 I don't know....
Many countries eat those crabs, very popular side dish in Korea, eaten raw with soy sauce marinade.
Raw...
@@hiimryan2388 yes, we suck out the flesh from the legs, very delicious.
Once you start fishing for blue crabs or any of those swimmer crabs species, their numbers drop pretty fast.
Blue crab is such a delicacy in many parts of the world. It is way less harmful to other marine life compared to humans.
Fisherman: Complains about crabs cutting their nets
Fisherman: Proceeds to cut net off crabs with a knife...
I think they have different nets now.
Look at getting crab pot to catch the crabs, a lot easier than pulling them out or a net
The blue crab is Maryland’s prime dish
Invasive means delicious to some. I wish we had more invasive lobsters 🦞
here in Philippines province in leyte call it "lambay", very delicious. right I'ma go out and get one.
They called it invasive but here in lapu-lapu city and entire country(philippines) has lots of company's exporting it...
I love turtles too ! They could live in many years more than human sometimes ! Awesome
These are expensive crabs in the Philippines! They are really delicious!
If an invasive species become a delicacy they become a gift..
The crab bisque is legendary.
Some of those blue crab sell for as high as 100 rmb each in China... That's over 10 dollars a crab.
Send it to Asians. Or cook it and eat it. It's a gift from nature.
If you can't beat them....eat them.
A perfect example of making lemonade when life gives you lemons.
Catch them put them on ice and ship them to southeast asia and china. Those are highly prized here. Yum yum!
I assume they figured this out already.
yooo...salted egg crab is sooo delicious!!!!
Blue crabs? EAT THEM! Cheap, delicious, works perfectly with arab spices. Grill them, boil them. Turn them into soup.
Human mistake to call something native or invasive at this point. Just leave nature alone please
blue crabs here in the Philippines is to expensive why don't you export it here in the Philippines??so that it can lower the local price,,
My goodness that turtle passed that orange of plastic...good grief.
Blue Crab + Garlic Chili Sauce = 😋
It is 4dollars per kg in Philippines
just eat them...have it to where it's a 24/7 free to fish and eat the crabs
Good documentary
Crabs are delicious ! Many nutritions ! Sometimes they are very expensive, you need to calculate your expenditures monthly or daily perhaps.
Crab is good food. The flesh is in-between fish and meat. Great report!
If you can’t beat em “eat em” 😂
6:59 Crab protein shake anyone ?
The only problem I see is not enough starving people living in Tunisia
This species is common food
This is a silly study of the Blue Swimmer crab. Why all the scientific study, just ask for notes from eastern countries or google it. It is a thriving industry and a delicacy
Omg.those are a delicacy here in Asia, take advantage of it
Oh Wow I am going to post my address so Tunisia can send me their "invasive" blue crabs!!!
2/3's of the animals found have ingested plastic. Sad.
I knew my brother was up to no good!
7usd a lb in market.. Pennsylvania
Tunisian should started learning some recipes form fellow southeast asians to cook this crab, trust me its delicious
blue crabs is a blessing..
I’m from Malaysia, I eat these crabs once a month at least, they’re delicious. Eat them away people of the Mediterranean, or import them to asia
Here in the Philippines
Blue Crabs are No even chance to grow in adult or to be keeper size.
With Coconut Milk Kalabasa ang Sitaw.... Its good Recipe for that bluecrabs..
I am a First Nations' person from British Columbia, Canada. I respect all forms of life on this planet Earth. The life form can be plant, two legged, four legged, finned ones, winged ones or the ones that creep and crawl. With climate change and the loss of habitat through greed of natural resources. All life forms are on the move to secure their life form. Humans that are on the move from war and loss of habitat are now an invasive species. They are human. What is an invasive species?
Invasive meaning not native, these crabs should only be in the pacific and indian oceans, not the atlantic.
@Jemalo thank you
Ka lami ana kasag!
Never understood... with these turtles. If only 1/1000 make it, why not scoop them up after they hatch, let then live in a sanctuary until they put some weight on, and then release. Would have more survive... why isn’t this being done?
Is catching these crabs with nets better than catching them with traps? I would think traps would be better, unless there's a reason why they don't use traps.
Now I know where to go to get an all you can eat crab feast at low prices lol
Nothing like some freshly steamed blue crabs!
I used to trap for blue crabs. Good eating they are.
LOL, while the same species are of course like 80 bucks a Kg in Australia and or fished out in Australian waters! No need to worry folks there will be animal diversity shifts and where one lot of people were ravishing in delicacies from the seas, someone else will be now. No need to panic.
Use crab pots to catch them to reduce population, seems very tedious to break crab from nets and destroys the net. I guess they were trying to catch fish but all they caught is crabs?
That's next to mud crab in the philippines, you can find it in any restaurant here in Manila. May be the government help fisherman to export it to asia.
why not just import them back to South East Asia? these things are expensive around here
How to contain invasive edible species, eat them!
Blue swimmer crab are sought after in Northern Australia, very nice sweet flesh.
Congratulate Indo fisherman, the processed blue crab meat returns income to them. 🐢
You can boil, steam, fried.... chilli crab, pepper crab.... do not understand why you complaining.
Its not a problem,its a blessing,some place dont have Blue Crabs,and if you think its a problem call Chinese Fishermen.😃
crab is a cash catch just as desirable as prawns
Totally dis agree.... Blue crabs are not invasive species they inhabit in warm water...
Heat up the butter ma we're having crab for dinner ..where is that damn cook book we're going to be eating high on the crab from now on ...yummmm....
i love a blue crab they are yummy i used to get 300 in a day so go you good things lol
These crabs are high value everywhere, why not there? Did it just not occur to them to eat them?
expensive here in the philippines & probably in some other asian countries.
Yeah is about 16USD per kilo in Singapore and that's only 3 or 4 crabs.
I can buy a fresh whole chicken at 5USD. So, its at least 3 times more expensive than chicken.
That crab look good,it making me hungry.
Blue crabs are delicious. Just overfish them in the Mediterranean.
in the caribbean, there are blue crabs, and sea turtles. nothing odd. blue crabs are not a delicacy, merely a food soruce thats hard to catch so a bit pricier
