Crustaceans are a large phylum of arthropods including crabs, shrimp, lobsters, barnacles, copepods and krill. They mostly live in water and have a body divided into two parts - a fused head and thorax called the cephalothorax, and an abdomen. They have many specialized jointed appendages including walking legs, swimming legs, and feeding appendages. Crustaceans have a variety of feeding methods from predation to filter feeding. They reproduce sexually with external fertilization and females carry eggs until hatching.
