  5. CLASSIFICATION

  6. Different Classes • Malacostra- crabs, lobsters, shrimp krill etc • Ostracoda- ostracods • Maxillopoda- barnicles • Branchiopoda – brine shrimp

  7. HOW CRUSTACEANS ARE CLASSIFIED. •  A hard exoskeleton • Compound Eyes • Antennae • The abdominal segments have swimmerets (swimming legs)  • The circulatory system is open. • The nervous system consists of a primitive ventral nerve cord and ganglia system (similar to those of an earthworm). 

  8. Fun Facts • Open Circulatory System • Lobsters have teeth-like structures in their stomach, which grind partially digested food. The structure is called a gastric mill. • Some species of shrimp are luminescent, meaning they produce a faint light. • Copepods are small crustaceans, between 0.5mm and 5mm in length. • Male fiddler crabs have one large claw, which they wave in the air to impress females when trying to find a mate and intimidate other males and predators. The waving of their claw is thought to resemble playing the Fiddle!
