The higher the temperature, the faster the lobster uses up oxygen and the higher the probability of drying out. Keeping lobsters moist is even more important because the gills (like our lungs) need moisture to function. When handled properly, lively, hard-shelled lobsters can easily live out of water for 4 or 5 days. Keeping lobsters moist doesn't mean that they have to be submerged. In fact, lobsters are much better off being out of water during shipment.
The crabs need to be well oxygenated in order to stay alive. Place the cooler in a dark, shaded area away from the sun. This will also prevent the crabâs gills from drying out. Blue crabs can live out of the water for up to 24 hours as long as they are kept cool and moist.
