 Crayfish GLOSSARY
Short spine situated on or near anterior margin of carapace, ventral to antennal spine in shrimps; in crayfishes, located immediately ventral to anterior extremity of cervical groove.
Portion of body bearing eyes and all appendages through fifth pereiopod (fused head and thorax).
Pointed apical part (tip) of rostrum, frequently delineated basally by marginal spines.

  If the specimen is male, locate the curved spine on the ischiopodite of the third pereiopod.
  If the specimen is female, locate the genital operculum on the inside surface of the coxa of the third pereiopod (Fig.
Pereiopods four and five are nonchelate; do not help in manipulation of food.

 [No title]
The vas deferens arises from the posterior margin of the main axis of the testis and opens to the exterior through genital pores located medially on the coxopod of the fifth pereiopod.
The lobes are connected to each other at their inner ends and lead to the next organ, the vas deferens.
Each vas deferens consists of four distinct portion; a short, narrow, proximal medial oprtion having a double fixture (median vas deferens); a relatively long narrow tube (distal vas deferens); and a muscular portion (terminal ampoule).

 Decapod anatomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pereiopods which bear the sexual organs, which are the third pereiopod in the female and the fifth pereiopod in the male, may be referred as as gonopods.
Particularly in the less advanced decapods, these can be very similar to the pereiopods.
Those pereiopods which are armed with a claw ( chela) are sometimes referred to as chelipeds.

We used a laboratory experiment to test the hypothesis that survival of amphipods is unaffected by the removal of legs.
Amphipod survival after the removal of a leg (pereiopod) has not been studied.
Surviaval of Gammarus troglophilus was similar ( P = 0.74) between control (unmanipulated) and experimental (one or two of pereiopods 5 through 7 removed) groups.

 Crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In those species in which no such dimorphism is found, the position of the gonopores must be used instead.
A number of animals with a similar shape are commonly called crabs, including the crab louse (an insect) and the horseshoe crab (in the class Merostomata).
In females, these are on the third pereiopod, or nearby on the sternum in higher crabs; in males, the gonopores are at the base of the fifth pereiopods or, in higher crabs, on the sternum nearby.

Most importantly, use of adult dorsal carapace and macroscopic sternal and abdominal characters, often eschewed by neontologists, produces the same general familial arrangement as use of molecular data or pleopod and pereiopod characters commonly used for brachyuran classification and phylogenetics in the neontological literature.
This is the first step toward resolving their phylogenetic placement within the Brachyura.

Zoeal morphology in two stages of an abbreviated development was identical to a description from plankton and hatched larvae of a previous work, and therefore we do only compare and discuss slight morphological variations in the present study.
The first juvenile is large and already resembles some features of adults, lacking all ventral rostral and the fourth dorsal rostral spine only which appears in the following stage, and the second pereiopod not yet being as predominant as in adults.
Sexual determination is not yet possible up to the described second juvenile stage.

 Shrimp Hatchery Design, Operation and Management
Spawning usually occurs while swimming with the spermatophore in the thylecum and eggs are released from the genital pore which is located at the base of the third pereiopod; sperms are likewise discharged into the water through an apperture at the base of the fourth pereiopod.
Spawning usually occurs between 0200 to 0300 hours at water temperature and salinity ranging from 25 to 30°C and 28 to 32 ppt, respectively.
In nature, adult shrimps mate after the females have molted.

In the short-term experiments, no significant difference was observed in survival and growth between the control group and the tagged groups (more than 10 mm in long carapace width) into which one or two CWTs were injected into the basal muscle of the fifth pereiopod.
These were evaluated after 20 days in short-term tagging experiments, and after 3-4 months in long-term ones.
Tag retention was more than 70% for crabs molted at least twice.

However, depending on the stage of development, plasmodia (or regions of a plasmodium) in some areas of the spot prawn (e.g., at the centre of the digestive gland or base of the pereiopod coxae) remain immature with dividing nuclei for some time.
In other areas of the spot prawn (e.g., in the periphery of the digestive gland, heart and gills) the large plasmodia may start segmenting into trophonts (Fig.
At a subsequent stage, some nuclei acquire characteristics of mature plasmodia (Fig.

 Land Hermit Crab Research
Both the female and male genital pores are located on the coxal ventral surface of each pereiopod (on an appendage of one of the first five abdominal segments), and a long coxal tube (an extension of a pereiopod which is joined broadly to lateral margins of tergites) is present in the male.
Male and female C. perlatus can only be distinguished when they are out of their shells.
These creatures reproduce sexually and will not reproduce in captivity.
