I'm afraid I have no idea. I do know many types of shellfish are closely related to arachnids and insects!
No its different but many shellfish are related to insects!
hello,  i do  love to eat shrimp and lobster Oh yeah shellfish is the fisheries term for exoskeleton bearing aquatic invertabrates yep, exoskeleton bearing aquatic invertabrates with cocktail sauce is great :) Haha, good to know! Another interesting fact is that shellfish are mostly found in saltwater, though there are a few freshwater varieties. i have seen freshwater shrimp but they are small, i think their name is fairy shrimp There are also a few species of land crabs never seen land grabs but as a kid we used to go crabbing for blue crab Neat! There is one type of land crab called Cardisoma guanhumi. are those the same crabs in Australia, those things get huge
Many varieties of shellfish (crustaceans in particular) are actually closely related to insects and arachnids, making up one of the main classes of the phylum Arthropoda.
