Hover over each crab, left click to select, space to inspect it, use mouse to turn.

Here are some tips. 1. All Crab must be 7 inches anything below that needs to be dumped. 2. Check the Sex pick it up and flip it over. Shell means vagina you dump it and Arrow means balls and johnny you keep it.

3. Send All Fish to the Grinder the tote limit is 10. Finally 4. Keepers go in the Tank Rejects Must be Returned to The Bering Straits. Also Do Not Soak You Crab Longer Then 72 Hours! Anything longer then 72 hours will kill your crab and Trident will refuse your load and you will have to do a dead dump.

Once you have 500 Crab or your tables are full with keepers you head to Dutch and unload do not stay on the grounds. Staying on the grounds will kill your crab and Trident will reject it when you return to Dutch.
