 CRABS

Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, wh

typically have a very short projecting "tail" (abdomen), usually
hidden entirely under the thorax (brachyura means "short tail" in
Greek).[a] They live in all the world's oceans, in freshwater, and o
land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, and have a
single pair of pincers on each arm. They first appeared during the
Jurassic Period.
 LOBSTER
• Lobsters are a family (Nephropidae, syno
Homaridae[2]) of marine crustaceans. The
have long bodies with muscular tails and li
crevices or burrows on the sea floor. Three
their five pairs of legs have claws, includin
first pair, which are usually much larger tha
the others. Highly prized as seafood, lobste
are economically important and are often o
the most profitable commodities in the coa
areas they populate.[3]
 HERMIT CRAB
• Hermit crabs are anomuran decapod
crustaceans of the superfamily Paguroidea that
have adapted to occupy empty scavenged
mollusc shells to protect their fragile
exoskeletons.[1][2][3] There are over 800 species
of hermit crab, most of which possess an
asymmetric abdomen concealed by a snug-
fitting shell. Hermit crabs' soft (non-calcified)
abdominal exoskeleton means they must
occupy shelter produced by other organisms or
risk being defenseless.
 BARNACLE
• Barnacles are encrusters, attaching
themselves temporarily to a hard substra
a symbiont such as a whale (whale barna
), a sea snake (Platylepas ophiophila), o
another crustacean, like a crab or a lobst
Rhizocephala). The most common amon
them, "acorn barnacles" (Sessilia), are
sessile where they grow their shells dire
onto the substrate.[3] Pedunculate barnac
goose barnacles and others) attach
themselves by means of a stalk.[3]
 MANTIS SHRIMP
• Mantis shrimp are carnivorous marine crustaceans of
the order Stomatopoda (from Ancient Greek στόμα
(stóma) 'mouth', and ποδός (podós) 'foot').
Stomatopods branched off from other members of the
class Malacostraca around 340 million years ago.[2]
Mantis shrimp typically grow to around 10 cm (3.9 in)
in length, while a few can reach up to 38 cm (15 in).[3] A
mantis shrimp's carapace covers only the rear part of the
head and the first four segments of the thorax. Varieties
range in colour from shades of brown to vivid colours,
with more than 520 species of mantis shrimp known.
They are among the most important predators in many
shallow, tropical and subtropical marine habitats.
However, despite being common, they are poorly
understood, as many species spend most of their lives
sheltering in burrows and holes.[4]
 OCTOPUS
• Octopuses inhabit various regions of the ocean,
including coral reefs, pelagic waters, and the sea
some live in the intertidal zone and others at
abyssal depths. Most species grow quickly, matu
early, and are short-lived. In most species, the m
uses a specially adapted arm to deliver a bundle
sperm directly into the female's mantle cavity, af
which he becomes senescent and dies, while the
female deposits fertilised eggs in a den and care
them until they hatch, after which she also dies.
Strategies to defend themselves against predator
include the expulsion of ink, the use of camoufla
and threat displays, the ability to jet quickly thr
the water and hide, and even deceit. All octopus
are venomous, but only the blue-ringed octopuse
known to be deadly to humans.
 Glaucus atlanticus
• These sea slugs are pelagic; they float
upside down by using the surface tension
of the water to stay up, where they are
carried along by the winds and ocean
currents. G. atlanticus makes use of
countershading; the blue side of their
bodies faces upwards, blending in with the
blue of the water. The silver/grey side of
the sea slugs faces downwards, blending in
with the sunlight reflecting on the ocean's
surface when viewed facing upwards
underwater.
 CUTTLE FISH
• Cuttlefish, or cuttles, are marine molluscs of
order Sepiida. They belong to the class
Cephalopoda which also includes squid, octo
, and nautiluses. Cuttlefish have a unique inte
shell, the cuttlebone, which is used for contro
buoyancy.
• Cuttlefish have large, W-shaped pupils, eight
, and two tentacles furnished with denticulate
suckers, with which they secure their prey. T
generally range in size from 15 to 25 cm (6 to
10 in), with the largest species, the giant cuttl
(Sepia apama), reaching 50 cm (20 in) in ma
length and over 10.5 kg (23 lb) in mass.
 GIANT SQUID
• The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is a specie
deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family
Architeuthidae. It can grow to a tremendous
size, offering an example of abyssal gigantism
recent estimates put the maximum size at arou
12–13 m (39–43 ft) for females and 10 m (33 f
for males, from the posterior fins to the tip of t
two long tentacles (longer than the colossal sq
at an estimated 9–10 m (30–33 ft),but
substantially lighter, as the tentacles make up m
of the length). The mantle of the giant squid is
about 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long (more for females, le
for males), and the length of the squid excludin
its tentacles (but including head and arms) rare
exceeds 5 m (16 ft). Claims of specimens
measuring 20 m (66 ft) or more have not been
scientifically documented.
 Decapodiformes
• Dec Apodiformes is a superorder of
Cephalopoda comprising all cephalopod
species with ten limbs, specifically
eight short arms and two long tentacles.
It is hypothesized that the ancestral
coleoid had five identical pairs of limbs,
and that one branch of descendants
evolved a modified arm pair IV to
become the Decapodiformes, while
another branch of descendants evolved
and then eventually lost its arm pair II,
becoming the Octopodiformes.
