"Shrimp is a popular name for any individual of the genus Crangon, allied to lobster, crayfish, and prawn. The common shrimp about two inches long, greenish-gray dotted with brown, is esteemed as an article of food; other species, from warmer latitudes, are equally prized. They are usually taken by a net."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)

The class of crustacea is divided into two sub-classes, Entomostraca and Malacostraca. The first, Entomostraca, contains the fairy-shrimps (Branchipus). A simple Crustacean, the fairy shrimp body is distinctly separated into head, thorax, and abdomen. This diagram shows parts of the fairy-shimp, (b) brood-pouch, (e,e') compound and simple eyes, (f) paddle-shaped feet, (h) tubular heart, and (i) intestine.

The larger, more useful and more familiar Crustacea belong to the subclass Malacostraca. It comprises such animals as the shrimps, crayfish, lobsters, crabs, and a number of other forms. The simplist of these are the opossum-shrimps (Mysis americana). In general appearance they resemle crayfishes or prawns. They are readily distinguished by the two-branched thoracic feet.

Prawns are crustaceans, belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata. They are similar in appearance to shrimp, but can be distinguished by the gill structure which is branching in prawns (hence the name, dendro="tree"; branchia="gill"), but is lamellar in shrimp.

The marine isopod or sand flea (Caprella) is an omnivorous feeder that eats detritus, one-celled plants, small invertebrates. It is preyed upon by shrimp, sea anemones and several fish species. Females of some species of skeleton shrimp apparently kill the males after mating using a poisonous claw.

Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which generally have a very short projecting tail. After the first stage, the zoëa changes into a stage called the megalops, which has many characteristics of the adult crab condition. In this stage the crab looks very much like a tiny lobster or shrimp.

After the first stage, the zoëa changes into a stage called the megalops, which has many characteristics of the adult crab condition. In this stage the crab looks very much like a tiny lobster or shrimp. In the final stage the tail disappears and the body widens.
