The difference between crabs and sea crabs;
1、? The difference between feet
Freshwater crabs have strong grip on their feet because they are active in mountain streams, so the feet of freshwater crabs are generally sharp; However, seawater crabs need to swim to control their speed because of the large tidal current, so they usually have flaps on their feet to control their direction and paddle.
2, the difference between the back shell
Usually, the back shells of freshwater crabs are mostly round, while those of marine crabs are mostly spindle-shaped or oval.
3. Time to market difference
Generally, the time to market for sea crabs is relatively long, and different sea crabs are listed from April to 1 1 month. However, freshwater crabs will be listed later and shorter, usually in July 7- 10/0.
