I totally agree that this is a different question to the other one. But rock crabs, despite their obvious name, are actually fine with sea water, but they need to breathe a little once in a while. They swim in the water-never in the middle of the ocean, unless swept away by a wave-and always land back onto the underside of a rock, that is submerged halfway or wholeway out of the water. Whatever the place, they need to be near land, or preferably rocks.

Throughout the course of their lives, blue crabs use all habitats in the Bay. Their distribution varies with age, sex and season.

  • Blue crabs tend to be abundant in shallow-water areas during warm weather, while in winter they are plentiful in the Bay's deeper portions.
  • Males range farther up into the fresher waters of the Bay and its rivers than females, who congregate in saltier waters.
  • Blue crabs are bottom-dwellers, using bay grass beds as a source of food, nursery habitat for young and shelter during mating and molting
