Why Stone Crab Claws Are So Expensive | So Expensive

- Опубліковано 26 лют 2021
- Stone crab claws are one of the priciest seafoods you can buy. Depending on their size, claws can cost as much as $70 per pound. Unlike most other crustaceans, it's illegal to harvest the body of a stone crab, so fishermen must only collect the claws before returning the rest of the crab to the ocean. So what makes these claws so coveted? And why are they so expensive?

Why Stone Crab Claws Are So Expensive | So Expensive
"Research found that up to 84% crabs died after two claws removed"..
Wow, who would have thought.
I want to know how some survived
@@athousandyearoldfossil5059 because they grow back quick if fully grown crabs
Better than 100%. Would be interested to know how many pigs died after their feet were removed.

@@lashandigarcia2889 Did you watch the video? They don't on average. They use their claws to catch and eat food. Without them, they die
The bodies don’t taste good. However, if you throw the bodies in the water the crabs can grow back their claws, or other animals will eat the bodies. You people are over reacting, and if you think it’s unfair compare our brain sizes to the brain size of a crab. Although, that might not hold up because if you think it’s cruel your brain might be closer to the size of a crab than a human.
@@jonbar140 there is a chance they survive and it’s also better if an species that likes the body eating it than a human who doesn’t like the body eating it
@@ScxrchedOasis You lost me with that sentence. There's also a chance that I'll survive doing 200 mph on the highway and a motorcycle but it doesn't mean it's the wisest or best thing to do. Humans will put here to tend the animals. Giving them a 20% survival rate is not wise.

Im guessing the crabs might evolve into having smaller claws
I wouldn't be surprised if all animals start to evolve different because of humans.
Pretty sure you have to be born with small claws to make your offspring have small claws because of DNA
@@clambus3233 but the one's born with smaller claws will survive and reproduce more because they aren't being harvested
@@clambus3233 Here in Germany we have the "Autobahn Schwalbe".
A Bird thats nearby the Autobahn and literally has smaller wings and size because its faster when a car is approaching so cars are usually killing the bigger/slower birds and the smaller ones survive.

@@clambus3233 That's evolution. Those ones won't have their claws snapped off, and will survive more than the ones with larger claws that do get snapped off. Ultimately, they will be the only ones left.

The two claw rule was a bad decision. Not only that, the price of the crab claws did not decrease when the two claw rule was made. It remained the same and continues to increase. These claws are delicious but the price has skyrocketed on the past twenty years. If you are lucky enough, you can simply catch them off of you dock.
It really is, and it’s sad because scientists have also tested that crabs feel pain, and they can remember pain, it’s pretty cruel to just rip it’s claws off, knowing that it can feel pain and remember it, my guess is that unfortunately, they don’t know that they can

Vast majority of those crabs don't survive passed 1-2 years. A video was just released talking about it. It's sad
But they do could reproduce in that timeframe right?
@@ilhamwicaksono5802 not likely to be able to fend off any competition.

Really pathetic and sad
But they'll still be eaten by something in the environment, meaning no waste and still a better chance than a cow or pig

@@soulmin8175 claws don’t grow overnight. This makes them vulnerable to the treat of potential predators as claws are necessary for protection against predators. Think of it as a human without arms in the middle of a rainforest, do you think there would be any chance of his survival without anyone’s aid? Same applies to crabs.
Totally agree, a crab without claws is like a human without arms, that too in the wild with a real threat of predators
Most die without their claws as said in the video. System is way too stupid, just take the entire crab instead.

Stone crabs are like the easiest crab in the world to catch. They’re so common that even lobster fishermen get them in bulk. You can actually go to the docks where the lobster boats come in and pay $1-3 each. This is a joke.

It’s nature. Us eating animals is no different from animals from eating other animals which is for some reason ok.
@@ScxrchedOasis It's not the eating part that's fucked up.
It's the ripping off the claws, then tossing them away like trash so they can maybe survive 18% of the time, just to have their claws ripped off again in a year or two.
Ripping off both claws is stupid and fails the conservation goal anyway. 82% of them still die and become wasted possible food source.
Either catch the whole crab and find a way to eat the non claw parts so nothing is wasted, while catching less so they don't become overfished, or use aquafarming and breed them in captivity, or rip off just one of the claws so they have a better survival rate.
@@ScxrchedOasis i cant stand the “its nature” argument. Natural doesn’t automatically mean morally correct. I mean you’re on youtube. How natural is anything about the human experience?
@@devina8812 I know it doesn’t mean morally correct. But still, the crabs can reproduce before dying and they could also have it worse by getting ripped apart by another animal, dying slowly.

Bro they just chuck these crabs like footballs of course they die alot
you probably already know this but crabs can regrow there legs, also just throwing the crabs in the water wont kill them
doubt it. more likely they die because taking a claw means its tougher for them to feed, plus it takes a ton of energy to grow back those claws.
Crabs get slammed against rocks, sea floors, and coral their whole life. They're literally a r m o r e d. As far as they're concerned, that "chuck" is a light tap on the shoulder
What are you doing here Horizon?
No sé si hablas español porque he visto tus videos, pero es bonito ver que youtubers dan su opinión sobre cosas y no memes c:
No. They use their claws to capture food and protect themselves. They won't die just because they were thrown into the ocean.
imagine when someone rip both of your hand and release you in the wild, to survive for 3 years.
Exactly!
Not necessarily 3 years, since they said it takes them 3 years to grow big enough again to be harvested, it mos likely just takes them around s couple months to a year for the entire claw

NEED to OUTLAW THIS
I have yet to hear from, much less see a stone crabber throw a crab back with a legal claw attached. If one claw is short they will toss it. I've worked on crab boats, talked to captains and it is a joke, and a myth that a crabber will only harvest one claw if they're are 2 legal ones. Just a flat out lie bc there is no way to enforce it and they know it. Given the opportunity, no fisherman will EVER throw back a legal anything. It is a useless regulation.

How does it feed itself when both claws are removed? That claw isnt going to grow overnight. Seems like the system is defeating.

@@6700adam makes sense
@@6700adam unfortunately, probably not. With a lost claw, it detriments the ability to fend off potential predators, catch prey to feed and to compete against other crabs to mate. They may be able to survive is some cases, but definitely not easily. If a human looses an arm its not ideal, same for a crab

Idk what's the point of taking both claws and sending them back to water? They can't survive for that, they use claws to live, how do you expect them to feed themselves? Use some fork?
They dont use their claws to live. They are SCAVENGERS if you know what i mean. They can eat without claws and grow it back to normal so sending them off to the sea is a gamble. Sending them back to water is just a second chance or third or whatsoever it is for them to live. You are fckin OA.

I’m all for enjoying seafood, but it seems to me the most ethical practice would be to only break off 1 claw, so the crab still has use of its other claw for things like idk, eating? How tf is it gonna grab shit if it doesn’t have at least one claw
@@BGold_Animation Crabs don’t have nerve endings, they lose limbs to one another while fighting all the time, they’re made to break off at the joint, just like a gecko’s tail. And it causes the animal no pain

Crabs regrow limbs quick. Other places would take both claws off and throw it back out where it would starve. Luckily these people leave one claw on so it can still defend itself, and get food. Later the crabs claw will regrow.

There is hardly any meat in the body and it is also illegal to take the whole crab, and if the claw is popped properly the membrane still remains on the joint and it will live to grown another claw.

Human: *takes em off*
Crab: dang it
how tf can they fend themselves or even feed without them claws
Why do you think the death rate is 80% with both claws taken.
Do you know what hiding is?
@@FloodExterminator and do crab knows what it is?
@@kaelthunderhoof5619 Bruh. Have you ever seen wild crabs? They like to hide under rocks.
@@FloodExterminator how to eat
that's like...almost all crabs die of losing even one claw.
Can cut the mortality rate in half if they would leave at least one claw
@@ajs4287 and now you gotta keep 4x as many to make a similar profit. So 2x as many crabs die when only one claw is harvested....
@@haydenmichelli3065 the price gone up so that will help
Hayden Michelli decrease supply without decreasing demand and the price will rise. Fishermen’s profit wouldn’t suffer, plus they would be ensuring there are more crabs in the years to come. Job security!
@@ajs4287the profit from 2 claws is barely more than the maintenance + cost to bait the traps. So you basically would spend more money to catch them than selling them. The prices that are already massive would skyrocket plummeting the demand causing hundreds of jobs to be lost.
Mr. Krabs watching this -
*"I thought I liked money"*
👁👄👁
In an alternate universe crabs fish for humans and rip our arms off before throwing back on land
The irony of using a severed foot to catch a creature in order to sever their foot
Hand
@@mr.unknown7138 claw
@@Quoteory on a crab, the claw is literally their hand
That's a hell of a coincidence lol
2:37 Bruhh, they throw the crabs like frisbees lmao
"..while the bodies must be returned to the ocean.."
Fishermen: *YEET*
Friends here is how an entire species goes extinct but humans never learn NEVER!
That's awful! The Crab has its arms ripped off, then flung through the air like a frisbee...
"Can you feel it Mr Krabs?"
It makes sense so they can reproduce even tho they are defenseless they can still reproduce that’s the main factor
Crab body goes Yeettt! 😂
Why is it legal to rip both claws off, even if they're harvest size? Imagine someone ripped both arms off of you and expected you to make it in the wild, regardless if you were able to regrow them or not, that seems like a death sentence.
dog what??? do u not see what you’re saying? the crab is caught. it’s fate is sealed. claws ripped off. thrown back, chance to live. die? fish food
what difference does it make? I would love to imagine but I wouldn’t be able to as a crab
Because they are our food silly.
@@lessgetit4841 Cause they also want sustainability, which is pretty much what ripping both claws off prevents.
@@whiskeyrebellion4390 they are more than food
They use their claws to get thier foods and to protect them from predators. So It is not surprising if they wont survive without thier claws. ☹️
When they see a crab with 2 claws:
"wholly crab"
Está bien el consumo, no excesivo!!! Peeeeero estoy enojada al ver como le quitó las tenazas aún estando vivo, la naturaleza no habla y han sido creados con un propósito, esto no significa que no sientan dolor. Los humanos somos salvajes muchas veces y aunque antes de comer la carne el animal está muerto, ésta debería ser inmediata para evitar el horror y dolor.
Go eat your frijoles.
Mr. Krabs: Did I hear expensive and crabs?
Crab, “ let’s pull his arms off and see what happens?” “Oh look, he can’t steer his boat!”
i feel bad for the crabs cuz they usually use the two fron't claws to protect themselves without it , they have nothing to protect themselves from other animal
They have a mind of their own. If course. If someone were to drag you out of your house, pop off one of your hands and toss you into the streets, you'd have a mind of your own too.
