"Levin says that the Pacific's deeper currents keep its waters less oxygenated than those of the Atlantic. "It's what we call 'old water,' since deeper Pacific waters haven't been at the surface in a long time,"
like i said again this does not explain the species specific issue, nor the fact that the crabs were in England off the Thanet coast, i believe that's the English channel. so the Atlantic.
