DIVERSITY Numbers
• about 80% of all animals are arthropods • estimated to be over 30 million arthropods • far more of them than all other metazoan species
combined • in virtually every conceivable environment:
marine, terrestrial, freshwater, and aerial habitats.

• a heterogeneous taxon with many subtaxa
• two pairs antennae • marine, freshwater, and terrestrial • Primarily aquatic • Free-floating larval stage • 26,000+ known species
Subphylum Crustacea

PHYLUM ARTHROPODA
It is numerically the largest phyla and literally means jointed foot.
Class: Crustacea - crab, shrimp, barnacle, and lobster (Florida specie has no claws)
1. Jointed appendages have a variety of specialized functions.
2. The body is covered by an exoskeleton made of chitin.
Advantage: good protection, muscles attach to it for strength
Disadvantage: heavy and does not grow - animal must molt (shed) exoskeleton and becomes very vulnerable to predators
![Page 5: DIVERSITY Numbers about 80% of all animals are arthropods estimated to be over 30 million arthropods far more of them than all other metazoan species.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649e9d5503460f94b9e01f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
3. The body has 2 segments - a cephalothorax covered by the carapace and the abdomen.
4. Meroplanktonic larvae don’t compete with adults for food; Metamorphosis provides a gradual change to adult life as Epifauna.
5. An open circulatory system contains a blue pigment called hemocyanin to transport oxygen from the gills to the body.

Gills b. Crustacean Gills
• crustacean gills are usually associated with appendages
• blood circulates through the gill and is oxygenated
Respiration

Crab Zoea – Crab Larve
Reproduction is sexual Fertilization is external

Unlike the red pigment hemoglobin, their blood carries copper instead of iron.
It makes an excellent medium for long-term laboratory test because it will not support bacterial growth.
6. They have a ventral nerve cord with a well-developed brain and compound eyes. Neurosecretory cells control molting, color changes, food storage and hormones.

Copepod – small but very significant
A Vital Crustacean – They are the link between primary producers (Phytoplankton) and higher level consumers including the baleen whales
Their nutrient rich fecal matter also allows for nutrients to be recycled quicker into the ecosystem

Barnacle
An unusual member of this phylum.
Barnacles start as free swimming larve
They become sessile suspension feedersas they attach to almost any hard surface such as rocks boats or whales
