Ray McClain). The ‘farmed’ and the wild crawfish are both composed of the same species, the red swamp crawfish (Procambarus clarkii) and the white river crawfish (P. zonangulus). The more popular of the two crustaceans the red swamp crawfish, as it is caught more often is purchased more at the market. There are other crustaceans that are important to the basin besides crawfish, however. Blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) are a vital resource in Louisiana’s seafood industry. The crabs are harvested by way of traps. In the case that the traps are lost or abandoned, they will continue to catch crabs. This is leading to a downturn in the blue crab population. Fish are also affected by the traps, as they are also caught. Despite the risked to the crab population, , the Marine Stewardship Council recognized the Louisiana blue crab fishery as the only sustainable blue crab fishery in the world in March of

This perspective often distorts the view of large crabbing businesses on their harvesting methods which, although are seemingly humane, are actually very detrimental to the crab population. For instance, when Hal Herzog, a Professor of Psychology at Western California University, ventured to Florida’s Gulf coast, the crabbers there explained to him the two varieties of crabs which they harvested; the “lucky” stone crabs and the “unlucky” blue crabs (Herzog). The blue crabs were considered unlucky because they were killed on the spot; however, the stone crabs were considered lucky because of their ability to regenerate their claws, and so crabbers would simply rip their claws off and then throw them back into the sea (Herzog). However,

It shares ancestral background with shrimp and lobsters. They are omnivores with their prey being mussels, fish, plants, and smaller blue crabs (Society). Although the Blue Crab is well established within its ecosystem it is highly sensitive to environmental and habitat changes ("Blue Crab, Maryland State Crustacean", 2016). The detrimental conditions of the Chesapeake Bay have affected the populations of Blue Crabs along with over harvesting.

Imagine that a huge wave crashes down on you. Then it drags you back into the ocean. On your way you pass by an animal that is clinging on for dear life. In order to survive in these harsh conditions, animals need adaptations. An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. The California Spiny Lobster lives in the neritic e zone which is in between 200 meters and 0 meters. It is located on the continental shelf. They like living in coral reefs and the ocean ground. In order to survive in the neritic zone with predators, sea floor hiders, and other environmental threats, animals need adaptations.

Horseshoe crabs are an important part of the wetland ecosystem, however they are going extinct. Due to harvesting, pollution, and other animals consuming their offspring their numbers are dwindling. They play an important part in the ecosystem and need to be protected so they do not become extinct. The Delaware bay has decided to protect them for their future uses in medicine and to keep them as an important role in the ecosystem.

My critter is fish. The name of the fish is called the Goldfish Saurus meaning it is half dinosaur and half guppy. This type of fish is a hunting fish, it mainly eats and kills tiny animals. It lives in the deep seas of the Pacific Oceans. The Goldfish Saurus hibernate for half a year, it likes to sleep in little burrows of seaweed. The Goldfish Saurus eats small fish and baby octopi and squids that is smaller than itself. It kills its prey by using the scaly fins on top of his back to directly jab its opponent. For self defence the Goldfish Saurus The tail of the Goldfish Saurus is very strong and its function is to move forward in upward swimming strokes. This kind of fish moves pretty quickly and catches its prey instantly. The Goldfish

Yeti’s are mythical monsters, who live in southeastern Asia, and are related to bigfoot and yowie. However, there is an even bigger monster who lurks in the shadows of the arctic ocean. The recently discovered yeti crab. This hairy, blind crab is part of the three known species of the yeti crab(Elizabeth Palermo). The crabs live in the South Ocean in Antarctica, “About 8,500 feet down lives Kiwa tyleri the newest member of the yeti crab family” (Jessica Halel). The scientific name for it is Kiwa tyleri. According to Elizabeth Palermo,author of Yeti' Crab's Strange Body Suits Its Hellish Habitat, “for the first time, K. tyleri is the only species of yeti crab known to reside in the Southern Ocean, off Antarctica”. The crabs gather only a few

He decided it was time for the final stand, so whoever was reading his eulogy could state how “brave” he was for trying to defeat this thing standing in his kitchen. As the beast leaped towards him, he summoned all his strength to punch the monster in its bright green eye. It squealed like a cross between a pig and some kind of primate and swung its head backwards, its eye shut and beginning to swell. Sheer relief began to replace the feeling of nausea and nervousness in his body. He looked through the kitchen drawer once again. This time, he made sure to grab a steak knife and as the monster regained its balance, he brought it forward so it stabbed clean through its head. The monster gurgled in pain and let out another squeal before wobbling unsteadily like a car hit it, and finally keeling over, a blank stare in its

This species of communal crab only grows to a width of 1 inch, and has a square purplish body. The main source of food for these creatures are the leaves of marsh cordgrass, and the occasional smaller species of crabs like fiddler crabs. They are also nocturnal creatures, which makes them hard to study. Predators of this species include the Blue Crab, Striped Bass, and certain species of marsh birds.

In case the question “how can a whole crab be transferred to my body?” surfaces, know I am not referring to the type of crab you can find at sea or on SpongeBob. Pubic lice are referred as crabs because of their resemblance to actual crabs in its six-legged structure, though not necessarily possessing claws. The crab (phthirus pubis) I am referring to are as tiny as 1.1–1.8 mm in length when fully matured in reference from kidshealth.org. Even though these bugs are very small, they are visible to the naked eye, but blend very well in their environment and are advised to be viewed from a microscope. Menshealth website describes that crabs are typically gray, white or brown, which makes the lice harder to spot.

With untiring enthusiasm, we harvested the rocks for our five-legged friends. Many a star was rehydrated from the drying heights or rescued from the perils of a hungry crab. We marveled at the sight of a starfish engulfing a mussel and grieved for the unfortunate sea star who had lost a limb in some unknown encounter.
