Basic introduction of mantis shrimp

Mantis shrimp, whose scientific name is "shrimp", also known as crawling shrimp, belongs to the phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Crustacea, class Malacaridae, subclass Scolopendra, order Stomatopoda (there is only one order under this subclass), and there are four families under it: Superfamily Mantis shrimp, Superfamily Mantis shrimp, Superfamily Mantis shrimp and Superfamily Mantis shrimp.

Commonly known as mantis shrimp, shrimp rake, male camel shrimp, mantis shrimp, mantis shrimp, j-urine shrimp. In the subclass of predatory shrimp, only the stomatopoda belongs to it. Among them, except for the ancient mantis shrimp family, which is entirely fossil species, the living species are divided into four superfamilies: deep mantis shrimp superfamily, finger mantis shrimp superfamily,

Superfamily Mantis shrimp and Superfamily Lycopodioidea. All are marine. The prawns originated in the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic Era, and there are more than 300 species in existence. Most species live in tropical and subtropical areas, and a few are found in temperate zones. They are found along the coast of China, with the most species in the South China Sea, where more than 80 species have been discovered.

The body of the mantis shrimp is narrow and long, slightly flat, and the cephalothorax only covers the first four segments of the head and thorax, while the last four thorax segments are exposed and movable. The abdomen has seven segments, and the boundaries are also obvious. It is larger and wider than the head and thorax. There is a pair of large stalked compound eyes at the front of the head, and two pairs of antennae. The top of the first pair of inner limbs is divided into three whip-like limbs.

The second pair of external limbs are scaly. The chest has five pairs of appendages, the ends of which are sharp hooks, which are used to catch food. The chest has six segments, and the appendages of the first five segments have gills. The sixth pair of abdominal limbs are well developed and form a tail fan with the tail segment. The mouth is located between the two large jaws on the ventral side. The anus opens on the ventral side of the tail segment. The male shrimps are dioecious, and the male has a copulatory organ on the last segment of the chest.

Mantis shrimps are mostly burrowing, often digging holes in shallow sand or mud bottoms, and most of the holes are U-shaped. Stomatopods are carnivorous and mostly prey on small invertebrates; these animals can make sounds by rubbing the tail limbs against the ventral surface of the tail segment or striking with their limbs.

The meat and ovaries of the larger species of the family Sciuridae and the family Sciuridae are edible and delicious. The mature ovaries of the mantis shrimp are much more delicious than those of the Chinese shrimp. Smaller individuals are often used as bait for yellow croaker and octopus. The largest number of mantis shrimp is the mantis shrimp, and the largest production in China is in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea.
