Coxal gland and its components. The coxal gland is a gland found in some arthropods, for collecting and excreting urine. They are found in all arachnids (with the exception of some Acari), and in other chelicerates, such as horseshoe crabs. [1] The coxal gland is thought to be homologous with the antennal gland of crustaceans.
The EFSA summarized that the killing methods most likely to cause pain and distress are: [85] Any procedures whereby the abdomen is separated from the thorax; The removal of tissue, flesh, or limbs while the crustacean is alive and fully conscious; Placing crustaceans in water slowly heated to the boiling point
Antennae (sg.: antenna) (sometimes referred to as "feelers") are paired appendages used for sensing in arthropods. Antennae are connected to the first one or two segments of the arthropod head. They vary widely in form but are always made of one or more jointed segments.
In Crustacea, the saccate metanephridia are associated with the antennae and form the antennal gland. In freshwater crustacea , the saccate metanephridia are especially large due to their role in osmoregulation; crustacea must remove large amounts of water from the tissues, as the cells are hypertonic to the surrounding water.

Symptoms of anchor worm can be as follows: [3] Anchor worms (Lernaea sp.) can be seen with the naked eye; Frequent rubbing or "flashing" Localised redness; Inflammation on the body of the fish; Tiny white-green or red worms in wounds; Breathing difficulties; General lethargy
Lacrimal gland involvement may cause swelling of the upper eyelid, or proptosis if there is severe swelling. Other orbital masses or inflammation can result in visual disturbance (blurred vision, double vision, visual field impairment), restricted eye movements, pain or discomfort, numbness in the distribution of the supraorbital and/or ...
