A little sand crab we found stowing away in our seashells when we got home. We kept him alive and set him free the next day. =)
Hugh numbers of shellfish/bivalves are collected using motorised pumps that suck up the sea floor and run it through a filter. It is a very effective method but highly destructive for small shellfish and other invertebates. Bohai area 2011.

A man stands alone above tanks of crabs that have just been delivered to a processing factory in the seaport. The image portrays the drama of a man in his tough occupation. The expression on his face renders the commitment of a lifetime to feed the community with the crustacean animals from the nearby seabed. A beam of sunlight reveals the man. He is stood in an up right position slightly to the right of the centre, his head parallel to portholes of light that cross the image. The looming presence of the already captured shellfish is pictured through the bubbles on the water’s surface of the tanks.
