Adult crabs need to be kept in pressurized tanks primarily to replicate their natural habitat, which often includes high-pressure environments found in deep-sea regions. The pressurization helps maintain their physiological functions, supports their gill respiration, and prevents gas bubble formation in their bodies, which can occur at lower pressures. Additionally, maintaining appropriate pressure levels can enhance their overall health and reduce stress, contributing to better growth and reproduction in captivity.
