What kind of symmetry do crustaceans have?
Crustaceans, like all arthropods, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
Do crustaceans have an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton?
They are invertibrates. Therefore they have an endoskeleton.
Yes, humans can eat krill. It is very rich in essential oils that the body needs, high in protein, low in fat (especially saturated fat), however does not have a very nice taste (although still considered a luxury in some countries). To overcome the bad taste companies have started to produce 'krill oil', which contains the oils from the krill that are good for the body, but have flavourings in to make it taste better.
Most crustaceans have four pairs of legs which means that they have 8 legs. They also have a pair of pincers which is at times counted with the legs making them 10.
What are the disadvantages of an exoskeleton?
It must be shed every so often to allow for growth.
It gets to be too heavy if the organism is very large; so it limits the size of the organism.
What happens when a crayfish loses a limb?

What is the role of scavengers?
Scavengers prey on and consume those others creatures who have fallen and are unable to protect themselves. They help to break down and reduce the matter into smaller pieces. Scavengers can also be viewed as some of the Earth's cleansers, as they rid the land of the dead faster than decomposing does.
Why do crayfish shed their skin?
Crayfish shed their shells because they are growing. they do not shed their skin, but rather the inflexible shell on top. Because it is inflexible, it cannot grow with the crayfish and they have to make new ones. Replacing a shell is called "molting". crayfish and other crustaceans molt more when they are young and are growing faster. Hope this helps!
How many body regions do crustaceans have?
The body of a crustacean is composed of body segments, which are grouped into three regions: the cephalon or head, the thorax, and the pleon or abdomen. The head and thorax may be fused together to form a cephalothorax, which may be covered by a single large carapace.

What 2 systems of a crayfish are most unlike human systems?
Exoskeleton: Crayfish have a hard shell, and no bones. That makes crayfish invertebrates (no spine).
Gills: Crayfish respire underwater through gills, where humans use lungs.
The circulatory system is the second one, the reason for this being that crayfish have no blood vessels (and humans obviously do).
