The only land animals known to exist on Clipperton Island are bright-orange crabs ( which are poisonous to consume ), birds, lizards and rats, the last of which seem to have arrived from recently wrecked ships.

Pike, perch, river crabs, snails, poultry from Bresse, Charolais beef or game, redcurrants, blackcurrants, honey cake, Chaource and Epoisses cheese are all specialties of the local cuisine of both Burgundy and Franche-Comté.

A great example of this symbiosis are the mangroves in the gulf, which require tidal flow and a combination of fresh and salt water for growth, and act as nurseries for many crabs, small fish, and insects ; these fish and insects are the source of food for many of the marine birds that feed on them.

The crabs are tied with ropes / strings, placed in bamboo containers, steamed and served.

Generally speaking, many parts of the Upper South specialize more in pork, sorghum, and whiskey, while the low country coastal areas are known for seafood ( shrimp and crabs ), rice, and grits.

Freshwater fish, crustaceans, and mollusks — such as prawns, squids, shrimps, crabs, clams, mussels — are widely used.

Examples of metabiosis are hermit crabs using gastropod shells to protect their bodies and spiders building their webs on plants.

The gills of some species such as hermit crabs have adapted to allow respiration on land provided they are kept moist.

Sipunculids are all marine and are relatively common, and live in shallow waters, either in burrows or in discarded shells like hermit crabs do.

Despite their low nutrition value and the abundance of indigestible calcite, echinoderms are the prey of many organisms, such as crabs, sharks, sea birds and larger starfish.

The echinoderms are also the staple diet of many organisms, most notably the otter ; conversely, many sea cucumbers provide a habitat for parasites, including crabs, worms and snails.

Adults are planktonic and the larvae parasitise decapod crustaceans, especially crabs.

The majority of crustaceans are aquatic, living in either marine or freshwater environments, but a few groups have adapted to life on land, such as terrestrial crabs, terrestrial hermit crabs, and woodlice.

While many groups of burrowing animals ( pink fairy armadillos, tuco-tucos, mole rats, mole crickets and mole crabs ) have developed close physical similarities with moles due to convergent evolution, two of these are so similar to true moles, they are commonly called and thought of as " moles " in common English, although they are completely unrelated to true moles or to each other.

The surviving marine species include the four species of xiphosurans ( horseshoe crabs ), and possibly the 1, 300 species of pycnogonids ( sea spiders ), if the latter are chelicerates.

The abdominal appendages of modern chelicerates are missing or heavily modified – for example in spiders the remaining appendages form spinnerets that extrude silk, while those of horseshoe crabs ( Xiphosura ) form gills.

The larvae are prey to comb jellies, jellyfish, chaetognaths, fish and other crustaceans ( such as mantis shrimp and crabs ), and only a tiny proportion survive.

In addition a few species of land crabs are eaten, for example Cardisoma guanhumi in the Caribbean.

Some crustaceans commonly eaten are shrimp, prawn, lobster, crayfish, and crabs.

True crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting " tail " ( = short, = tail ), or where the reduced abdomen is entirely hidden under the thorax.

Their diet typically consists of small crabs and shrimps, but they may also feed on fish if they can catch them.

Salt water fly fishing typically employs the use of wet flies resembling baitfish, crabs, shrimp and other forage.

There are at least three kinds of fish in a traditional bouillabaisse, typically scorpionfish ( fr: rascasse ); sea robin ( fr: grondin ); and European conger ( fr: congre ); and it can also include gilt-head bream ( fr: dorade ); turbot ; monkfish ( fr: lotte or baudroie ); mullet ; or silver hake ( fr: merlan ) It also usually includes shellfish and other seafood such as sea urchins ( fr: oursins ), mussels ( fr: moules ); velvet crabs ( fr: étrilles ); spider crab ( fr: araignées de mer ) or octopus.

The carapace widths of mature Dungeness crabs may reach in some areas off the coast of Washington, but are typically under.

Dungeness crabs can typically be purchased either live or cooked.

Notable exceptions to this is when an octopus helping Diego is explicitly shown and discussed eating live crabs ( the crabs, however, are not anthropomorphised in the same way that other creatures typically are in the series ), when a baby river dolphin who had tickled Diego in " Diego Saves Baby River Dolphin eats the crabs heading toward a waterfall, Sea Turtle Tuga eats jellyfish and Jorge the Little Hawk eats grasshoppers.

However, the hearts of some other arthropods ( including spiders and crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp ) and some other animals pump hemolymph, which contains the copper-based protein hemocyanin as an oxygen transporter similar to the iron-based hemoglobin in red blood cells found in vertebrates.

Infections found in commercial-sized lobsters in Canada were probably acquired from crabs that form an important dietary item of lobsters.

Apart from mollusk shells, other shells that can be found on beaches are those of barnacles, horseshoe crabs and brachiopods.

Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans, while many crabs live in fresh water and on land, particularly in tropical regions.

Many sea creatures can be found such as crabs, star fish, small fish and sea urchines.

Here may be found sand fleas and ghost crabs, as well as a variety of coastal birds including plovers, stilts, avocets, terns, and gulls.

Marshes and creeks in the park are home to wildlife found throughout the Chesapeake Bay, including blue crabs, herons, terrapins, rockfish, and eagles.

Later expeditions found that these vents were host to a number of organisms, including giant tube worms and albino crabs, that survived off of heat-loving chemosynthetic microbes.

Cartilage tissue can also be found among invertebrates such as horseshoe crabs, marine snails, and cephalopods.

Off Florida, juveniles of some species of triggerfishes are found in floating sargassum, where they feed on the small shrimp, crabs and molluscs found there.

Book gills are still found in horseshoe crabs which have five pairs of them, the flap in front of them being the genital operculum which lacks gills.

In the past there has been conflict with commercial shellfish farmers, but studies have found that the impact of oystercatchers is much smaller than that of shore crabs.

Despite its name, the crabeater seal does not feed on crabs, which are not found in its Antarctic habitat.

Crustaceans such as blue claw crab, fiddler crabs and green crabs are also found in the tidal sections of the river.

Horseshoe crabs are most commonly found in the Gulf of Mexico and along the northern Atlantic coast of North America.

Many species of invertebrates can also be found in these coastal tidepools, and include sponges, sea anemones, mussels, sea stars, limpets, crabs, shrimp, barnacles, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers.

Rescuers later searching for survivors in the homes in Mystic found live fish and crabs in kitchen drawers and cabinets.

Fiddler crabs are found along sea beaches and brackish inter-tidal mud flats, lagoons and swamps.

Hyas is a genus of spider crabs, such as H. araneus, the Great Spider Crab found in the Atlantic and the North Sea, on almost all the coasts of the British Isles, for example, though more spottily distributed in the south and west.

The word Crabble, which is also found in the name of a local corn mill, may derive from the Old English crabba hol, meaning a hole in which crabs are found.
