Steamed blue crabs are a delicacy on the east coast of the US. 50.00 dozen for #1 retail. I suggest you start canning the crab meat and sell it Internationaly.
Easy solution, do not put any size limits, and no limits on how many to keep, and do not regulate the size of the holes in the crab cages, and keep them ALL including breeders even with eggs.. The population will drop quickly! The crabs will never go away, but they can reduce population very easily.
Here in Saudi Arabia Red Sea we don’t have any regulations on theme whatsoever, we keep all sizes males & females with eggs, yet there number is still high and they are cheap to buy, around 7.5$ per pound
