Experiments in the laboratory were carried out in order to compare the pressure exerted by the bulldozer passing over the crab burrows (during low tide) to that exerted by the column of water during rising tides. The results indicate that the pressure produced by the column of water (0.4 Kg/cm2) during high water tide over a crab who lives buried at 30 cm deep is greater than the pressure experienced by the same crab during low tide as a bulldozer passes overhead.
