Selection of female and male crabs

1, look at the abdomen?

The difference between male and female crabs is not only in the abdomen, but also in the feet of the crab. When selecting a crab, if all eight feet of the crab are downy, and the feet feel good, it means that the male crab is more plump, and if only the first two feet are downy, it is a female crab.
