Why did the crabs die when I bought them home?
It was alive when I bought it in the market and it was also oxygenated for 2 hours, will it die?

Answer: It will die. The main reasons are as follows:

1. The pike is a marine crab that needs seawater. If you put it into fresh water for a short period of time, it can live, but soon due to the osmotic pressure change will make the crab body extreme water absorption and expansion and death. You can open the crab's shell and see its sponge-like gills swell with water.

2. After being sealed with oxygen during transportation, the seawater is heated and salt is analyzed, causing the seawater to become cloudy and creating conditions for oxygen deprivation.

3. The oxygen played during transportation is too pure, that is, pure oxygen and concentration is too large, resulting in oxygen poisoning or the use of compressed air containing less oxygen to play oxygen, so that the oxygen is quickly depleted, resulting in respiratory difficulties and death.

4. Selection of not enough fresh, not enough fresh generally can not withstand long-distance transportation.

Often reasons 2 and 3 are more likely.

Now I'm concerned about whether I can eat it.

Answer: If the sea crab is freshly dead and its abdomen is not brown or black, you can eat it. But be careful, because if you eat spoiled dead crabs have the risk of poisoning. The owner has to be careful!
