A phyllosoma larva of the spiny lobster Palinurus elephas, from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur. The larvae of the Achelata (slipper lobsters, spiny lobsters and furry lobsters) are unlike any other crustacean larvae. The larvae are known as phyllosoma, after the genus Phyllosoma erected by William Elford Leach in 1817. They are flattened ...
Crustaceans (from Latin meaning: "those with shells" or "crusted ones") are invertebrate animals that constitute one group of arthropods that are traditionally a part of the subphylum Crustacea (/ k r ə ˈ s t eɪ ʃ ə /), a large, diverse group of mainly aquatic arthropods including decapods (shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters and crayfish), seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill ...
Barnacle larvae are consumed by filter-feeding benthic predators including the mussel Mytilus edulis and the ascidian Styela gibbsi. [38] Another predator is the starfish species Pisaster ochraceus .
Robert Gurney (July 31, 1879 – March 5, 1950) was a British zoologist most famous for his monographs on British Freshwater Copepoda (1931–1933) and the Larvae of Decapod Crustacea (1942). He was born in 1879 as the fourth son of John Gurney and Isabel Charlotte Gurney (later Baroness Talbot de Malahide) of Sprowston Hall , Norfolk .
Facetotecta is a poorly known subclass of thecostracan crustaceans. [1] The adult forms have never been recognized, and the group is known only from its larvae, the "y-nauplius" and "y-cyprid" larvae. [2] The only known genus is Hansenocaris and the family Hansenocarididae.
A new critter is creeping into the United States' waters. The invasive Australian redclaw crayfish has been spotted in southern Texas, roughly 8,000 miles from its home. The freshwater crustacean ...
The phyllosoma larva is characteristic of the Achelata (drawing by Haeckel) ... The Achelata is an infra-order of the decapod crustaceans, holding the spiny lobsters, ...
The cysts may be stored for long periods and hatched on demand to provide a convenient form of live feed for larval fish and crustaceans. [1] From cysts, brine shrimp nauplii can readily be used to feed to fish and crustacean larvae just after one-day incubation.
