Characteristics of Crustaceans
Phylum Arthropoda is the
most numerous of multicellular
animal phyla.
Characteristics:
• Segmented bodies
• Jointed legs
• Chitinous exoskeleton.
4. 5 - 4
(There may be as many
as one million arthropod
species.)
5. 5 - 5
Sub-phylum Crustacea: crabs, lobsters, crayfish,
shrimp, krill and barnacles.
Characteristics:
Pair of appendages on each body segment.
Two pairs of antennae = 4.
Mandibles for
chewing.
Teardrop
shaped larvae.
Exoskeletons
are shed as
they grow.
7. 5 - 7
Class Cirripedia: barnacles
Characteristics:
the animal is upside down.
A ring of plates surrounds the
body, homologous with the
carapace of other crustaceans
(in most the cement glands are
part of a flat membrane or
calcified plate.)
The exoskeleton forms the
carapace (hard shell) the
barnacle can withdraw inside for
protection.
8. 5 - 8
Class Cirripedia: barnacles
Life begins as free-swimming
larvae like other crustaceans.
(Larva finds a surface on which
to live (rocks, boats,etc.) it fuses
itself in place “upside down.”)
(In some, the cement glands are
fixed to a long muscular stalk.)
9. 5 - 9
Copepods
Class Copepoda: very important food.
Few larger animals can consume
the tiniest plankton, but many can eat the
larger copepods. Fish, krill, and giant
plankton feeders, including whale sharks,
baleen whales, and manta rays all eat
copepods.
Copepods are important to ocean food
webs because they link the tiny primary
producers (plankton) to the larger
animals higher up the web.

due to their roles as food for humans and food for nature.

(Order Euphausiacea): krill
Important primary and

that link smaller plankton to
larger consumers.
In subpolar food webs, they
are vital. Whales, seals, sea

survive in highly productive
waters.

antennae
20. 5 - 20
Class Insecta; Order: Lepidoptera
• 2 pairs of wings (4). A few moths are
wingless

• Antennae are long and slender in
female moths and generally feathery
in male moths. Butterflies have
clubbed antennae

caterpillars.

wings vertically when at rest whereas moths sit with
their wings flat.

'wasp waist'
•Females usually have a hardened
ovipositor, which may be modified
for sawing, piercing or stinging
•Chewing, mandibulate
mouthparts. Although in some

is modified to form a tongue
•Compound eyes are usually large
