Where are the gills located on a shore crab?

Question

I'm looking at pictures of crabs, because I dont have a live one to study. Seriously...where are the gills?

Answer 1

The feather-like gills on a shore crab sits dorsally on the muscle and posterior to the hepatopancreas.

The link below has images of the gills on a shore crab. (It's the very last image on the page.)
