Crustaceans have jointed appendages, meaning their legs can bend, and they have segmented bodies. They have an exoskeleton made of the protein chitin, and they often have bilateral symmetry. They have an open circulatory system.

How did the discovery of nauplius larvae allow scientists to categorize barnacles and tongue worms as crustaceans?

The nauplius larvae share characteristic features with other crustaceans, such as possessing one eye and three pairs of appendages.

Is a prawn a arthropod?

Yes. Arthropods are animals that have- during at least one stage in their life- segmented bodies, jointed legs, and an external skeleton called an exoskeleton. All crustaceans have segmented bodies, jointed legs, and exoskeletons. Some crustaceans like barnacles do not appear to have legs or body segments. However, these features can be seen on barnacle larvae. These are barnacles that are not yet adults and have not attached themselves to anything yet. Legs and body segments disappear from adult barnacles because they are not needed. The barnacle is still considered an arthropod because the features that define arthropods can be seen on it during part of its life.
