Regulated crabs

[IRMC000]

Are only Sand / Mudcrabs regulated?

Can someone post a picture of a juvenile sandcrab
Wanting to use crabs for bait and don't want to get caught with one undersized.
Thanks

The juvenole sand crabs look exactly the same as the adults only smaller. I had one in a marine tank for about 4 months during which time it changed it's shell twice. I'm buggered if I know how they do it as the shell looks intact and the kids thought I'd piut a second slightly bigger crab in the tank when they saw it.

What are you trying to catch with crab as bait?

Here is a picture of a juvenile sand crab (found on G00 G LE).

If you are chasing bream the small soldier crabs (picture on the left) are brilliant bait.

We always fish for parrot / tusk fish with live crabs & also wonder the same thing??
