Best Answer

Some crustaceans are adapted to be able to live on land and breath oxygen from air and water. The ones that live when they are taken out of the water are land crabs, which will usually only return to the water to breed. When crabbing, the containers hold water so that crabs who only live in water are able to survive and be sold as fresh crabs.
