The harvesting season is limited and the crab’s meatiness (meat volume in the legs) is often poor, so there is a challenge to earning a profit in this business. However, researchers have been working with the problem and have developed a system of catching the crabs in the ocean and feeding them until their meatiness is right, to be sold at a high price. It takes about 2 months to "fatten up" the crabs for sale.
