Blue Crab Caller

Blue crabs are among the most valuable and widely harvested crustaceans in coastal fisheries, inhabiting estuaries, bays, lagoons, and brackish waters throughout the Atlantic Coast, Gulf of Mexico, and parts of South America. Developed for both commercial and recreational fishermen, the Livingston Crab Caller utilizes proven EBS™ (Electronic Baitfish Sound) Technology to help increase catch efficiency while reducing unwanted bycatch.

Extensive field testing has demonstrated that traps equipped with Crab Callers have produced 20–30% more crabs compared to traditional traps, while also reducing the number of undersized crabs and unwanted bycatch entering the trap. Fishermen have additionally reported cleaner catches with fewer females and fewer sublegal crabs, helping improve overall trap efficiency and sorting time.

Powered by Livingston’s proprietary EBS™ Technology, the Crab Caller emits natural acoustic signals that research and field studies have shown can attract multiple species of crustaceans. The technology has been evaluated on species including blue crab, king crab, American lobster, spiny lobster, and shrimp. By attracting target species directly to the trap, the Crab Caller can help reduce bait consumption and, in some situations, significantly reduce or eliminate the need for bait altogether. Built for the demanding conditions of commercial and recreational fisheries, the Livingston Crab Caller represents a new generation of sound based crustacean attraction technology designed to increase efficiency, improve catch quality, and maximize fishing opportunities.

PRO TIP: Position Crab Callers in traps placed along known travel routes, channel edges, grass transitions, and productive bottom structure where crabs naturally forage. Compare caller equipped traps with traditional bait-only traps in the same area to evaluate performance. Many fishermen have found that combining strategic trap placement with EBS™ acoustic attraction technology can improve catch rates while reducing bait costs and unwanted bycatch.
