Only if it had air/gas that could expand, and it depends on how fast it was brought up.

Pressure like that is amazing, hard way for the crab to learn about it.

I would show this when I teach scuba to explain about pressure, but I think I would lose the entire class...

People go crabbing all the time, bring them up in crab pots. Where do you think the ones at the stores and restaurants come from?

I miss crabbing.

do the crabs from the restaurants really come from 6000 feet below?

Reminds me of that, oh crap what was it again? Maybe a "New" Twilight Zone, with the highschool kids, they all go swimming at the lake and there's a slime monster and it sucks one of them through the boards of the raft.... pretty creepy...

"The Raft" by Steven King from Skeleton Crew.
 
What confuses me is the difference in pressure. How can there be 1 Atmosphere (16.9 PSI I think) in the pipe if there is a slit? Guess the slit isn't big enough for the pressure to equalize.

It's probably a rather very very very long pipe and would take some time for the pressure to stabilize
 
Makes sense. Thanks. The water can only travel so fast through the slit and you'd need a heck of a lot of volume of water to get to 2700 psi.
