The salinity affects the crabs by altering the size of their internal organs, causing them to swell and decrease, as the salinity does.

This drastic change in the crabs can cause death, and colour changes within the crab.

What is the difference between a salt water crab and a fresh water crab?

The primary difference between saltwater crabs and freshwater crabs lies in their physiological adaptations to their respective environments. Saltwater crabs have specialized gills that allow them to extract oxygen from the water, while freshwater crabs have modified gills that are better suited for extracting oxygen from air. Additionally, saltwater crabs have a higher tolerance for salinity levels, whereas freshwater crabs require a lower salinity environment to survive. These adaptations enable each type of crab to thrive in their specific habitat.
