===Techniques=== *Baiting and Waiting: **Crabs were lured into traps with bait like rotting fish, eel heads, or offcuts from the local market. **Traps were left for several hours or overnight, depending on tide cycles. *Hand Gathering: **At low tide, fishermen (and sometimes women and children) would collect crabs by hand under rocks or in tidal pools. *Seasonal Work: **Crabbing was often seasonal, peaking in spring and summer when crabs were more active. **It could be part of a broader fishing or farming livelihood.
