43. Microscopic Fresh Water Crustaceans Article by Wim van Egmond introducing water fleas, ostracods and copepods with several excellent photographs. http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/wimsmall/crust.html

Microscopic freshwater CRUSTACEANS by Wim van Egmond An ostracod, well protected inside a bivalved body. What are Crustaceans? This is the group of animals that is best known for the crabs and lobsters. But they have many microscopic relatives. With the insects they belong to a large group called the arthropods. They all have segmented limbs and a hardened external skeleton made of chitin. Which crustaceans can we find in fresh water? There are three major groups of microscopic crustaceans that you might encounter when you look at a drop of pond water: the water fleas, the ostracods and the copepods. The most familiar are the water fleas. They are the most numerous organisms in freshwater zooplankton. They can be seen with the naked eye because some species can reach a size of almost six millimetres. With a good hand lens you can observe many interesting features This image of the water flea Daphnia pulex shows its basic body plan. One of the most obvious features are the large antennae. They use them for locomotion. Above the antennae you can see the large eyes. It looks like a single eye but it consists of two compound eyes that are fused together. Inside the bivalved protective shell called the carapace lies a row of five or six pairs of feet they use to filter food (small algae) The food can be seen as the yellow brown substance. Left of the gut, eggs can be seen. Find out much more about waterfleas in the Micscape article Waterflea Anatomy The little heart is easy to observe when you examine a live specimen under the microscope. You can count the pace of the heart beat with a pencil and a stop watch. Just tap the pencil on a piece of paper following the pace of the water fleas heart during one minute.

They have two pairs of sensory antennae, one pair of mandibles (for chewing food), and two pairs of maxillae (to help the mandibles in positioning the food). Crustaceans are invertebrates (they lack a backbone) and arthropods (which also includes the insects Most crustaceans live in water, but some live on land. Crustaceans are the most numerous animals in the oceans, but some crustaceans live on fresh water. There are about 30,500 known species of crustaceans around the world.

Crustacea Moulting/ Ecdysis Crabs belong to a group of animals known as the Crustacea. The soft body is protected by a hard outside shell known as a exoskeleton. Unfortunately, this hard shell does not grow. The hard shell, or exeskeleton of the Shore Crab does not grow Instead, a soft shell grows inside the crab. Eventually, the crab grows too big and it has to shed its old hard shell. This process is called 'moulting' and it is a very dangerous time for the crab. The new shell is larger than the old one, but it is soft and takes time to harden. While it remains soft, the crab tries to stay hidden so that it is not attacked by hungry fish and other animals. During the moult, the crab can grow back a lost claw, but it will be smaller than the one that was broken off. The old discarded shell looks like a dead crab, but if you look closely you will find there are holes where the eyes should be. It is hollow inside and it will sometimes float to the surface where it may be washed ashore. Demise of crabs and other crustaceans in captivity often occurs when the animal is in the process of changing its exoskeleton. Research into the moulting cycle indicates that several stages can be described. This is known by anglers that use soft-backs for bait. The cycle is controlled by hormones and modified by environmental conditions. In the crabs, the various stages could be summarised as follows:

The number of segments in the body varies, depending on the group. In some forms the body may simply be a trunk. In more advanced types it may be devided into a thorax and abdomen. The thorax has maximum of 8 segments, and the abdomen, 6. ... Reproduction is almost entirely sexual, fertilization is usually internal, and the eggs are attached to the body of the female.

The body plan varies considerably and in some the head and some thoracic segments have become fused into a cepalothorax, and in others the carapace covers most of the body. The cuticle is mainly composed of calcareous material, with some chitin and protein, and this no doubt restricts their colonisation of water with a low pH. There are many leg modifications, e.g. walking legs, paddles, food collection, and claspers for mating. Although some are terrestrial, e.g. land crabs, all except the

Crustacea Introduction Crustaceans, carcinology, the insects of the seas. A large group of unsettled rank (phylum, subphylum, superclass, or class). Ancient and very diverse, but not nearly as rich in species as are the insects. Over 40,000 species occur worldwide, most are marine, about 10% are freshwater and, only a few are terrestrial. The chitinous cuticle of larger species is calcified. Recognition Diverse! All non-insect, non-arachnid aquatic arthropods. Most have 2 pairs of antennae, and many pairs of segmented appendages, typically with gills for gas exchange. The appendages are basically biramous (protopod, endopod, exopod). The head has 5 pairs of appendages: first antennae (antennules), second antennae (or just antennae), mandibles, first maxillae, second maxillae. The trunk is primitively composed of many similar segments each with similar biramous appendages, more advanced groups have uniramous appendages, fewer segments that are more specialized or fused into distinct regions (thorax and abdomen), part of the thorax may be fused to the head (cephalothorax). The trunk appendages are often highly modified (maxillipeds, gnathopods, pereiopods, pleopods, and uropods). Malacostracan pereiopods may be chelate and have 7 segments (coxa, basis, ischium, merus, carpus, propus, and dactylus), the exopodite is often loss.
