minus-square@lemmylommylink10•11 months agoAfair estimates put the portion of dead crabs between 10 and 30%. Some might also be unable to reproduce due to the bleeding.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•11 months agoSadly a lot of the companies harvesting them will just kill and sell them for bait anyways. Of those that are released, about a third die. Not to say about the decrease in overall fitness, which can lead to them falling prey more easily. It’s obviously a traumatic experience for the animal in the best case scenario and that is going to reflect on their ability to survive in the wild.
