On the stroke of midnight, they dropped their trawling nets into the sea simultaneously.Tons of the brownish-red crustaceans were brought to the surface when the nets were lifted about an hour later.The fishermen sorted their haul out quickly based on shell size and sex, before lowering the next set of nets into the sea.
