maybe samo if they had access to a time machine they could jump forward in time to just before peeling hence a reversal in the peeling process :lol: :twisted:

ok sounds like a dumb question but i mean in the very early stages of peeling when theres a bare wisp of skin when you check the legs. i know that you can slow down the peeling process by regulating the temp. :roll:

Seanie,

if you want to slow em down - its not just regulating the temp but regulating the moisture. Its the moisture they use to pop the shell.

By the way - have you any to spare???? There was at least 15 bass to 7lbs caught for three rods between 3 west waterford beaches the other nite!!!!!!! Now, heres the interesting thing. A lot of em were fit to burst and a few leaked melt. They must be spawning already. Fair play to the anglers for not killing them but it makes you wonder if the closed season should be changed :?: :?: :?: :?:

boycie do you reckon 1 or 2 dead crab in a batch of live ones in cold storage can kill the others similar to lug.........without the use of a time machine :lol:

no mate i wouldnt say so ! but id say they would kill them if they were in a bit of water when a couple of them died !! obviously because it would contaminate the water

remove all dead crab no matter where your storing them, with live ones,
the bacteria from a dead crab is lethal to the rest of them
