Ruth and Adrian helped me check the fecundity of tree-climbing crabs around the Sungei Buloh boardwalk. In a couple of hours, despite short nets, we caught, measured, sexed, checked limb damage and female gravidity and released 73 crabs.
Not too bad for a start.
Of the four species in our mangroves (ignore my mistake in the guidebook), we found the three of the common ones. That's something to sort out as well. Looks like there will be more field trips ahead.
