At BigByte Aqua Ventures, we believe that learning aquaculture should be both fun and hands-on. One of the most essential and surprisingly challenging skills in crab farming is crab tying. It might look simple at first glance, but anyone who’s tried it knows it takes patience, precision, and a gentle touch to do it right.
The Art of Crab Tying
Crab tying is more than just securing claws it’s about ensuring safety for both the crab and the handler. A proper tie keeps the crab calm, prevents injury, and makes handling easier during sorting, weighing, and transport. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crab farmer, mastering this skill is essential for successful crab farming.
Our recent Crab Tying Session in Davao City gathered learners, enthusiasts, and aquaculture partners eager to explore the behind-the-scenes work of sustainable crab farming. Each participant learned to hold, tie, and handle live crabs properly—an experience that was both exciting and rewarding.
Hands-On Learning, Real-World Skills
At BigByte Aqua Ventures, we make sure every training activity reflects our real-world practices in vertical crab farming. Through hands-on demonstrations, participants don’t just watch they do. This practical approach helps them build confidence, improve their techniques, and truly understand the importance of proper crab handling in maintaining product quality.
From the first nervous attempt to the final perfectly tied crab, every moment was filled with laughter, teamwork, and a shared appreciation for the craft. These crab tying moments are more than lessons they’re memories that remind us how passion and perseverance drive success in aquaculture.
