1. Hold the lake crabs on a plate (to be able to put into the refrigerator in the fresh position, the temperature of about 4 degrees or so of the layer). Live lake crabs should be tied up feet and pincers to reduce crab activity. Put a small amount of water in the bottom of the dish and sprinkle a small amount of water over the crabs to keep them moist. Leave for 3-7 days and none of the crabs will die.

I have done this, hairy crabs put 7 days, the crab did not die.

2, plastic buckets / pots to save Yanghu crab. Prepare a 30-50 centimeters high plastic bucket / basin, plastic bucket / basin smooth inner wall is not easy to escape. Put the crabs into it --- not stacked; and then add water to half the height of the crab's body --- mainly to moisturize, not to bury all the crabs. It is unlikely that you have an oxygenation device and if the water is too deep, the crabs will suffocate and die. Buckets/pots do not need to be covered, using this method of preserving Yanghu crabs, when the temperature is not too high, hairy crabs can be preserved for more than 5 days.

3, temporary pool preservation of lake crabs. If the amount of crab more than three or five days to eat, the best way is to put their own bathtub --- do temporary pool --- first let out to the crab to enjoy: because the bathtub four walls smooth, the crab can not escape, and then gently pour the crab into the bathtub, fill the water to just buried hairy crabs, if the crab to eight feet to stand up in the water surface breathing, and according to the time of storage and the number of small fish and shrimp cast a small amount of crab, with this method of storage crab! Generally can be more than 7 days or longer.
