Re: Orange Residue on Shell

And people can argue or debate one method over another, but as HCA mods we have been crabbing a long time, and can assure you that no matter what some groups say, there is no evidence to support PPDS or any other method. Nothing has been shown to increase survival rates, not acclimating gradually or trying to get crabs to eat prior to molting, etc.
