That’s bad news for krill — and everything that depends on them — which is a lot.
Only a few inches long, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) may be small, but their contributions to the #ecosystem are massive — much like the swarms themselves.

But what about #animal welfare and #sustainability? IGB researcher Sven Würtz explains why we need evaluation criteria for crustacean #farming: https://www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/we-need-evaluation-criteria-animal-welfare-crustacean-farming

’ Wolfe thinks of crabs and other #crustaceans like Lego creations: They have many different components that can be swapped out without dramatically changing other features. So it's relatively straightforward for a cylindrical body to flatten out, or vice versa. But for better or worse, humans won't be turning into crabs anytime soon. "Our body isn't modular like that."

Turns out the #TapWater in New York City contains harmless #Microscopic #Crustaceans called #Copepods.
This apparently makes it so the #Water in #NYC is both not #Kosher and not #Vegan. Also it means anyone who lives in New York is walking around covered in an invisible film of potentially thousands to millions of dead Crustaceans due to showering.

Sound is important in the life-history strategies of many #crustaceans. In their Review, Radford and Stanley discuss sound detection and production in decapods (#crabs and #lobsters) and stomatopods (#mantisshrimp)

Today is Shrimp Sunday, so here's a photo of a... shrimp? what the unknown artist thought a shrimp was like, I guess. Painted in the 80's or 90's on the walls of a nearby street.

Last day of #InverteFest , A sunny day on the beach. I was searching for an Onchidium or Chiton, but instead of exotic molluscs just found a lot of arthropods. A sea roach, fiddler crab and tiger beetle. #MacroPhotograhy #insects #crustaceans

Whale/Dolphin lice are #crustaceans, not #insects, like the lice that live on humans & they have a tough life!

It is unfathomable to me to think about how such tiny beings can exist and thrive. A "Dairy Cow" isopod, barely any bigger than the nail on my thumb, is alone so small I could never even begin to comprehend living a life on that scale - but then to them to compare their children? Who are nothing short of nearly unnoticeable specks of dust? Impossible, and incredibly astonishing!

Porcellio laevis "Dairy Cow" are certainly prolific breeders, to say the least.
