Just to be clear. This is not a hatchery. The crabs don't mate. He buys crabs and fattens them up. This doesn't solve the food security issue nor does it claim to. Crab condos can't be scaled up to meet demand. It's a fun hobby.

I mean, this with a local hatchery sounds like it could help food security issues. Most people with small vegetable gardens don't make their own seeds. They buy them from the store. A lot of cattle people only buy young cows and fatten them up.

idk about everything else, but Cat banning should be something every major city in the world should be doing. Cats should be registered, and owners should have a cat raising license. Too many people don't realize how invasive and destructive cats are. Most cat owners are terrible cat owners. Simpy letting your cat wander, especially not neuter, outdoors is one of the dumbest things you can do as a cat owner. @@Malaysian.Dajjal

@@yummychips_ As a landed house owner, no problem for cats. However in Putrajaya, Malaysia, I've seen many cats linger around in apartment, of 13 storey to 21. No problem whatsoever, they literally going into mosque, into lift, and poo on the sand or land. It's a collective effort to teach the urban cat, now Singaporean selfish owner can enjoy the ban. lol

I applaud CNA for highlighting many Singapore grown foods over the years. (Yeah, I'm paying attention) Food security is probably Singapore's Number 1 issue. A country needs Land, Water and Food to survive. Singapore has the first 2 (somewhat). When food crisis happens and other countries scramble to secure their own food supply for their own citizens, then Singaporeans would experience the short end of xenophobia. Be kind to others (foreigners) when you're strong. Cause when 💩 hits the fan, you'll be begging them for food......or causing massive jam in Tuas/Causeway.

I saw the thumbnail and the overlay text and who knows, maybe because of the way the guy is holding the crab up, I read "rears" as in a horse rearing up, and he was doing this thing called crab rearing *at* the house. Like "oh don't piss that guy off, he'll rear his crab at your house. He's been rearing it at mine every day now!"

Does the plastic crab condo break down over time in the saltwater? Curious to know if the crab meat ends up being infused with micro-plastics the same way as human organs do from consuming bottled water microplastics. If that's the case, I'll take my chances on ocean farmed food.

I remember crab hunting years ago and seeing these burrows up close. We found one crab and he ran down into a bigger burrow. A few seconds later he backed out and collapsed, we picked him up and washed him off before realising a bigger crab chopped him in half. I think they’re very grateful for these homes lol

Brilliant man…he memorized the yabbie plan and accommodated it for crabs years later. And it’s a totally enclosed system with the exterior pond and a UV sterilizing system. This is the animal version of ‘vertical farming.’ Great marketing….i like how he compares a crab with a fish. The only issue is anthropomorphizing the crab and saying it’s ‘happy’ when the algae grows back and blocks out the sunlight. Crabs don’t get happy. Crabs are crabs.
