Crustaceans

Usually considered as a subphylum, Crustaceans comprise a group of arthropods including crabs, crayfish, lobsters and shrimp. Most crustaceans are aquatic animals, though some are terrestrial, parasitic and barnacles. Crustaceans have a chitinous exoskeleton, segmented body, and paired jointed limbs.

Are crayfish insects?

Insects must have a head, thorax, and abdomen. They have three pairs of legs and usually two pairs of wings. The crayfish obviously doesn't have wings, (not sure about the other requirements) so it is not an insect.

What does it mean when a crayfish is a yellowish looking color?

the colours of a cray fish are usully red , orange and brown

What are some types of crustaceans?

Crayfish, lobsters, and crabs are all examples of crustaceans.

How to care for a crayfish?

Tie up the lobster's claws and then hold its body with two hands. After that, crack it in half. The most humane way is to put the live Lobster into the deep freeze for about an hour before you want to cook it, this shuts down the Lobsters systems, it goes into a deep sleep, then drop it into lots of boiling water to cook it.

How big do blue lobster grow?

  • Blue crabs grow and reproduce quickly, but many populations are threatened by habitat loss from pollution and coastal development.
  • In the Gulf of Mexico, there is high by catch of blue Crabs from shrimp trawls.

Do crayfish live in the Chicago river?

Yes, according to some documentation I found online. There was a year, I want to say 2002 were there was lots of rain fall and crayfish were coming out of the river and into people's yards.

What does the brown trout eat?

Where I am from in Northern California, in the only place I ever fished for them, I used a flyrod. My local shop told me to use a Calliabaetis dry fly (think that's how it's spelled) and I and my friend had good success, but this may be seasonal, as it was in September of the year and relatively warm. They like to hit close to the bank as opposed to rainbows or brookies who tend to range all over...hope this helps!

They will eat any and all flies, smaller fish, mice and even other trout.

How long does a cicada live?

Where abouts do krill live in antarctica?

Krill live in the southern oceans. but one type called the Antarctic Krill does live in of course the antarctic. Euphausia superba, makes up an estimated biomass of over 500,000,000 tonnes (490,000,000 LT; 550,000,000 ST), about twice that of humans. more than half is eaten by whales, seals, penguins, squid and fish every year, but they are replaced by reproduction. Most krill species have large daily vertical migrations, by doing this they provide food for many other animals.

What do they call crayfish in Australia?

Crayfish are known as both crayfish and yabbies in Australia. "Yabbies" are freshwater crayfish, often found in rivers, creeks and dams in rural areas.


Is krill endangered in Antarctica?

There are no land animals on Antarctica.

The only danger to the sea life in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica is the natural danger afforded in any animal that is part of any food chain.

Do rock lobsters have a backbone?

No. Vertebrates are only one phylum (Chordata), all the others don't have a backbone. Those are literally everything but fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

Do lobsters have internal organs?

Unlike us humans with an internal or endoskeleton, the lobster relies upon its outer skin or exoskeleton both for support and for its armor. The internal organs are protected by this hard outer shell, made from chitin, a very tough protein used by other crustaceans and by insects. It is similar to the hard protein keratin in your fingernails and hair. You might also argue that the lobster is mostly protected by its own behavior - avoiding predators by hiding in crags. This is especially important when the lobster moults periodically, since the shell can't grow it has to shed it, then wait for the new shell to harden.

What is the difference between crustaceans and chelicerata?

chelicerata have got 5 pairs of legs whereas crustaceans have 6 pairs.chelicerata have 2 pairs of antenae whereas crustaceans doesnt have antenae.chelicerates have uniramous appendages,crustaceans have biramous appendages.

What is the colour of blood in lobster?

Lobsters in the wild are generally mottled yellow, green, brown, and almost never red. The reason they turn red during cooking is that other pigmentations are broken down by heat, but the red pigments are not.

How do lobsters stay alive?

Lobster survival strategy involves a good deal of hiding from predators. They accomplish this by locating and occupying crags, hiding below rocks, and burrowing into the sea floor. They also have a highly acute chemical sense and have been shown to react to minute trace of chemicals indicating the presence of predators.

One might also argue they stay alive by blind luck. The vast majority of lobsters die before reaching adulthood; their reproductive strategy involves releasing tens of thousands of eggs. This is necessary since only one in ten thousand is estimated to survive long enough to end up on your dinner plate.

Where does red lobster live?

The lobster you might be used to seeing with the big claws is the american lobster (Homarus americanus), and lives off the east coast of North America, from below Maine up to Newfoundland. They are actually not red in the wild; the red color is a consequence of non-red pigments breaking down during cooking.

How long can you live with a severed artery?

It depends on which artery. If your femoral artery is severed, you have minutes to live without immediate medical attention. Same for the Carotid artery in your neck, or the jugular vein in your neck. If the aorta artery feeding your heart goes, same thing. I would say the smaller the artery, the longer you may have to live before you bleed out.

The biggest life threat as far as arterial bleeds is the aorta. If any part of the aorta ruptures, a surgeon couldn't save you if he already had you cut open on the table. Essentially, if the aorta ruptures, it will only take about 3 beats of the heart to bleed out. The further away from the heart you get, the slower the bleed will be, but any compromised artery is potentially life threatening. The femoral artery in the thigh (the femur is the thigh bone, hence the name fermoral) is another big bleeder. The carotid is the second biggest life threat if it's compromised. So basically, if the aorta ruptures, 3 heart beats. If the carotid ruptures, perhaps 2 minutes. If the femoral is severed, perhaps 5 minutes. The difference is that the carotid and the femoral arteries can be controlled with proper treatment. The aorta is untreatable once it's compromised.

What are a group of prawns?

According to oxford dictionary a group of prawns is called Michelle

What does a prawn eat?

In the wild, prawns eat plankton, microscopic organisms that live in the water and include krill, algae, copepods and zooplankton. Prawns are scavengers, also feeding on decaying animal and plant matter.

What is then difference between crab's skeleton and human's skeleton?

Crayfish have an exoskeleton, meaning that their support structure is found on the outside of their body. The skeleton is composed of one large body covering that is scleritized (hardened) in some places and left unslceritized (flexible) in others to allow for movement at joints. Humans have an endoskeleton, meaning that their support structure is found internally. The skeleton is made of hard bones that are held together at the joints by ligaments and muscles.

Are krill the dominant herbivores in the Antarctic food web?

Krill are a key component of the Antarctic food web, serving as a primary food source for many species including whales, seals, and penguins. While they play a crucial role, they are not the dominant herbivores in the Antarctic ecosystem, as there are other herbivorous organisms like algae and small fish that also contribute to the food web.

Crustaceans are well adapted to life on the rocky shore because they have?

Crustaceans are well-adapted to life on the Rocky Shore because they have a hard shell, camouflage color-patterns, and strong claws. Crustaceans found on the Rocky Shore include crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill and barnacles.

How are daphnia are similar to other crustaceans?

Similarities: Daphnia and crustaceans (such as shrimp) share the same kind of "jerky" movement through a body of water. Also, like crustaceans such as lobsters and crabs, both have a hard outer shell.
