A bushel of crabs typically contains a different number of crabs depending on their size:

• Small crabs: Around 7 to 8 dozen (84 to 96) crabs per bushel.
• Medium crabs: About 6 to 7 dozen (72 to 84) crabs per bushel.
• Large crabs: Usually 5 to 6 dozen (60 to 72) crabs per bushel.

These numbers can vary somewhat based on the region and specific size classifications, but this is a good general guide for the number of crabs in a bushel.
