The creamy and yellow fat crabs are in a large quantity on the market.

Since November, a large amount of plump and golden crabs have been on the market, and prices have remained stable, entering the "golden crab season" with the highest cost performance of the year. The reporter visited the largest crab origin wholesale market in the Yangtze River Delta region - Gucheng Lake Crab Market in Gaochun District, Nanjing. These days, tens of thousands of kilograms of crabs are being packed and shipped to Jiangsu province and other parts of the country every day. Some merchants said that they start receiving and sorting the crabs at 12 o'clock noon, and then continue to ship them until around 1 o'clock in the morning. This summer, the overall temperature in Nanjing was higher than usual, and the rainfall was more concentrated, leading to a delay in the molting time of crabs, with maturity being about 20 days later than usual. Although the listing has been delayed, the quality of the crabs has not been affected.
