what is more important crabs living in the ocean or the beach?

Both of them are important.They have various habitats,ecosystem etc but that doesnt mean one is more important than the other.Extinction of a single species can lead to imbalance in the food chain and other species may start dying as a result.\n\nSo every living creature is important in the ecosystem.

Hawaii has less pollution, better sea currents & tropical waters are generally clearer/bluer than temperate waters. There are parts of the world with nicer waters than Hawaii but in relation to California, that is how I'd best put it.

A prawn is a shrimp and a lobster is a crustacean that lives on the floor of the ocean eating scraps. Tasty buggers both of them. I like mine with lemon and butter and a baked tater.

most plants that require fertile soil and alot of water live in a delta. human like to live in delta because they can grow good crops. so other animals that feeds on the crops like the grasshoppers live on the delta. There is really no fish that live in a delta because it is where a river meets the ocean and neither salt water nor fresh water fish want to leave their habitat and go to the other side. (just think about the beach, you dont see any fish)

crab fishing is mostly in alaska, thats the best and pays the best. you can get a copy of any sports mag. like field and streem, and look in there in the back of it, crab fishing is seasonel but dangerous. my husband was watching an adventure show on the sports channel one nite, and watched the king crabs being cought in alaska. it is tough work and many a man has lost their life, since the waters are so rough in that time of the year. they do teach rookies, and their is a web site he looked up . just under alaska king crab fishing on the web. go try that. site or ones close. he did.they sent him info on it all.  but please note it is very dangerous....good luck

Juvenile or adult blue crabs can tolerate a wide range of salinities and water temperatures in contrast to the zoeae and megalopae. Juveniles and adults are exposed to a salinity range of 0 to 35 ppt.

The crab could be in breeding season, getting busy.\n\nIf you could find out what attracts the crabs to mate you might bait them with it, be it pheromones, specfic colours and such.\n\nNothing draws animals like sex.

A crab gets it's soft shell crabs shortly after they molt their hard shell. In the United States, the blue crab is a good example.\n\nAs these crabs grow larger, their shells cannot expand, so they molt the exteriors and have a soft covering for a matter of days when they are vulnerable and considered usable. Fishermen often put crabs beginning to molt aside, until the molting process is complete in order to send them to market as soft shells. Crabs should be kept alive until immediately before cooking by the customer or restaurant so that they are fresh. Usually crabs must be eaten within four days of molting to be useful as soft shell crabs. They begin to rebuild their shells after that, and when eaten, have a thin shell developing, they are then referred to as "papershells" and are more crunchy when eaten—making them less desirable to many people.\n\nWith the blue crab in cold waters this molting is highly seasonal and usually lasts from early May to July.

Asian Clams and Mitten Crabs are a marine pest in New Zealand so you can find out information on both of these on a NZ website.\n\nThe european green crab (Carcinus maenas) is also a pest in the United States. The National Agricultral Library has a great load of info on the green crab.\n\nWater hyacinth is also a pest species in the US and, again, the National Agricultural Library can help you out with a LOT of links!

There are many species of crustaceans, which are you referring to (i.e shrimp, crab, lobster, etc)?  Most have considerable cholesterol and modest levels of protein.

I agree with Climecita. The crab also has wonderful medical implications as well. (I did not check the links) The crabs blood is blue and it contains one of the worlds strongest antibacterial compounds on the earth. They actually have farms where they harvest the blood of these creatures. Oh and for one more note their blood is mixed into the bags that hold our blood when we dontate, or get a transfusion.

because if they live in land we will be very easy to catch and eat them. in sea, at least they have a better chance. =)

Off the beaten path, but Discovery has a series called The Deadliest Catch about crab fishing in Alaska. Very interesting. You will appeciate that red lobster meal a whole lot more.

Yeah,\n\nLiberty state park has some clean tidal pools where they can be found this time of year. \n\nJust don't disturb the horseshoe crabs while they're mating.

Starfish live on the bottom, in shallow and deep water.\n\nGiant tube worms have been found at great depths on the bottom.  Also crabs.\n\nSome jellyfish also live very deep where there is no light.

How big is she?? Normally smaller crabs will molt every few weeks.... but I have a couple big boys who molt whenever they feel like it. It is Normal and is a sign that they are happily growing.\n\nMake sure you provide lots of clacium, protein and color enhancing foods. Plenty of fresh and oceanic/marie de-chlor water and she should be good to go!\n\nMake sure also that you keep a good selection of shells rotating in and out of the tank.. eventually she will slow down and will need a shell that is just right!\n\nP.S. most pet stores know little or nothing about them.. they only can tell you to read the handbooks which are ALL outdated and most websites are equally outdated except a handful that I know of.
