Crustaceans is another name for the crustaceans (Crustacea). This group is again divided into different classes. The crustaceans of course include lobsters and crabs, but also other groups such as daphnia, one-eyed crabs, barnacles, barnacles, woodlice and shrimps to name a few. It's a diverse group. They owe their name to their armor (shell) of chitin. This armor does not grow with you. In order to grow, the armor must first be shed. The number of legs varies from 10 to 14. Most species live in the sea, but there are also animals that live in fresh water or on land. A number of groups are of economic importance. These are lobsters, crabs and shrimps. These are the crustaceans most commonly depicted on postage stamps. By the way, the crustaceans should not be confused with shellfish, which belong to a completely different group, the molluscs.
