Mud crabs are on the move, and QBFP reminds everyone to check the gender of their crabs before taking them ???????? Taking female mud crabs is illegal in Queensland, so don’t get nipped with a fine. Possession of female mud crabs carries a penalty of $533 ???? Inspect the shape of the abdominal flap on the underside of the crab before you take it home. Female mud crabs have a rounded or wider U-shaped flap, while a male mud crab has a narrower V-shaped flap.

May be an image of crustacean and text that says 'Female Male f @FisheriesQueensland'
