information 

  1. Features: Crustaceans are characterized by the presence of hard outer cuticles, which form a protective shell. Their bodies are segmented, and many species have a pair of transformed legs, called pincers.
  2. Variety of sizes: Crustaceans come in a wide range of sizes. They can be microscopic, such as planktonic crabs, and huge, such as lobsters.
  3. Breathing: Crustaceans breathe using special organs called gills. The gills are usually located on the legs or abdomen.
  4. Food: Most crustaceans are carnivorous or omnivorous, feeding on plankton, detritus, small aquatic organisms and other crustaceans.
  5. Reproduction: Crustaceans can reproduce sexually or asexually. Some species undergo complex life cycles with different larval forms.
  6. Disposition: Crustaceans are found in a variety of environments, from oceans, seas and beaches to freshwater rivers, lakes and swamps. Some species are also adapted to live in moist soil or underground water.
  7. Marine crustaceans: Marine crustaceans include many well-known species, such as crabs, lobsters, crawfish, shrimp and crayfish. Some of these are commercially fished for their meat.
  8. Freshwater crustaceans: Freshwater crustaceans include freshwater shrimp, crayfish and other species adapted to freshwater environments.
  9. Ecological role: Crustaceans play an important role in aquatic ecosystems as members of the food chain and in the processes of decomposition and recycling of organic matter.
  10. Food applications: Some crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters and shrimp, are prized food sources in many kitchens around the world.
  11. Fossilization: Crustacean fossils provide valuable information about ancient ecosystems and the evolution of organisms.
  12. Scientific role: Crustaceans are also the subject of scientific research in evolutionary biology, ecology and physiology.

trivia

  1. Evolution and longevity: Crustaceans are among the oldest known organisms on Earth. Their history dates back hundreds of millions of years, and many features of crustaceans have survived virtually unchanged for centuries.
  2. Variable body shape: Crustaceans are characterized by a wide variety of body forms. Crabs have a distinctive silhouette, crayfish are more flattened, and shrimp are long and slender.
  3. Lateral movements: Unlike most animals that move in a front-to-back fashion, crustaceans often move laterally, using lateral movements of their legs.
  4. Crustaceans in plankton: Some crustaceans, such as planktonic shrimp, play an important role in marine ecosystems as part of the plankton. They provide food for many organisms, including large marine mammals.
  5. Colorful shrimp: Many shrimp species have intense colors, such as bright reds and blue-green hues. Their colors are often due to the presence of pigments or the phenomenon of light reflection.
  6. Backward crabs: Crabs can move both forward and backward, which is unusual among arthropods. They can make fairly precise backward movements, although forward movement is still more natural for them.
  7. Coconut crabs: Coconut crabs, also known as land crabs, live in coastal areas and are able to swim in saltwater, which is quite unusual for crustaceans.
  8. Regeneration of legs: Many crustaceans have the ability to regenerate lost legs. When a leg is lost, many species can regrow it in a process called autotomy.
  9. Nocturnal lifestyle: Many crustaceans, such as crabs and lobsters, are mainly active at night. Their habituation to a nocturnal lifestyle is related to protection from predators and access to food.
  10. Differences between the sexes: In some crustacean species, such as some species of crayfish, males and females can be easily distinguished based on leg shape, size or coloration.
