Where do they go?
How far do they travel?
The crabs will be tagged with cable tie tags placed around the claw. Each tag has a unique ID printed on it.
The names of everyone who returns the details of a tagged crab will be entered in to a prize draw, for a share of the £1000 cash prize provided by the Northern Ireland Fisherman's Federation (NIFF).
