(kruh - stay- shun) Crustaceans are aquatic arthropods that are characterized by a segmented body, chitinous exoskeleton, and paired, jointed limbs. Lobsters, crabs, and shrimp are all crustaceans. Horseshoe crabs are not crustaceans ñ they have their own class grouping ñ Merostomata.

Crustaceans are mostly free-swimming aquatic species of creatures that breathe by means of gills. They often develop through several juvenile stages before becoming adults. In the context of the garden pond, they are mostly pests, although those like daphnia provide live fish food.

The crustaceans (Crustacea) are a large group of arthropods, comprising approximately 52,000 described species , and are usually treated as a subphylum .They include various familiar animals, such as lobsters, crabs, shrimp, crayfish and barnacles. The majority are aquatic, living in either fresh water or marine environments, but a few groups have adapted to terrestrial life, such as terrestrial crabs, terrestrial hermit crabs and woodlice. The majority are motile, moving about independently, although a few taxa are parasitic and live attached to their hosts (including sea lice, fish lice, whale lice, tongue worms, and Cymothoa exigua, all of which may be referred to as "crustacean lice"), and adult barnacles live a sessile life - they are attached head-first to the substrate and cannot move independently.
