Crayfish

Crayfish (also called crawfish or crawdads) are freshwater crustaceans that look like a small lobster. Crayfish feed on plants, frog eggs, insects, and small fish. Crawfish boils and dishes with crayfish in them are very common in Louisiana. Louisiana supplies about 95% of the crayfish harvested in the US.

How many maxillipeds do crayfish have?

I think from disecting a crayfish in my Biology class, that crayfish have 5 sets of different appendages. All in all, the crayfish we disected had 36 actual appendages. Appendages are areas on an animal that "stick out". Kind of like our arms and legs except crustaceans and other animals have more, and can grow them back if they are cut off. Like I said, total, our crayfish had 36 appendages from anterior to posterior. There are a total of 38 appendages, 19 on each side.

Do crayfish have a nervous system?

Unlike humans who have a big brain and lots of nerves to send signals down the body, the hermit crab and other crustaceans have a much more primitive system. They have a primitive ventral nerve cord and ganglia system similar to an earthworm. Hermit Crabs have good vision thanks to their compound eyes on stalks (although can't look below them) and sensory organs are found on the body. Like true crabs, hermit crabs have bristles and hairs all over their body - but mostly on their walking legs - which act as touch receptors. The long antennae of hermit crabs - longer than other crabs - have smell sensors, used to find their food. Smell detectors are also found on the legs. When a hermit crab walks over food, its legs smell it, and the chelipeds quickly grasp it and move it into the mouth.

Where do crayfish lay there eggs?

Crabs lay eggs in the shallow waters. It is difficult to see them when they do, because crabs need to molt their shells to breed and so tend to go into hiding until their new shells harden. Also crabs usually carry their eggs around for only a short period before casting them adrift into the currents where they hatch and the "baby crabs" live amongst the plankton for a while. During this time they look more like barely visible prawns. The tides eventually bring them back to shore, where they will molt their shells and change into "proper" baby crabs to spend the rest of their lives amongst the rocks and seaweed.
