Molting: How Crabs Grow

Crabs (and other crustaceans) cannot grow in a linear fashion like most animals. Because
they have a hard outer shell (the exoskeleton) that does not grow, they must shed their
shells, a process called molting. Just as we outgrow our clothing, crabs outgrow their
shells. Prior to molting, a crab reabsorbs some of the calcium carbonate from the old
exoskeleton, then secretes enzymes to separate the old shell from the underlying skin (or
epidermis). Then, the epidermis secretes a new, soft, paper-like shell beneath the old one.
This process can take several weeks.

A day before molting, the crab starts to absorb seawater, and begins to swell up like a
balloon. This helps to expand the old shell and causes it to come apart at a special seam that
runs around the body. The carapace then opens up like a lid. The crab extracts itself from its
old shell by pushing and compressing all of its appendages repeatedly. First it backs out,
then pulls out its hind legs, then its front legs, and finally comes completely out of the old
shell. This process takes about 15 minutes. Over the next few weeks, the crab shell become
gradually hardens and this organism becomes active in feeding and conducting its daily
activities.
