The Supreme Council for Environment announced the lifting of the ban on fishing for crabs (qobqob) in the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Bahrain, effective from Thursday, May 15, following a two-month prohibition period.
The General Directorate of Marine Resources emphasised that the ban on catching, trading, or selling crabs is part of Bahrain’s efforts to protect marine species, ensure their sustainability, and safeguard them during breeding and spawning periods .
