Aeglidae: Life History And Conservation Status Of Unique Freshwater Anomuran Decapods (Advances In Crustacean Research 19)

Life History

Freshwater anomuran decapods have a complex life history. They begin their lives as planktonic larvae. After a period of time, the larvae settle to the bottom of a water body and metamorphose into juveniles. Juveniles then grow and mature into adults. Adults typically live for one to two years.

Freshwater anomuran decapods are sexually reproducing animals. Males and females mate, and the females produce eggs. The eggs are carried by the females until they hatch. The larvae then develop through a series of molts until they reach adulthood.

Conservation Status

Freshwater anomuran decapods are a threatened group of animals. Many species are declining in population due to habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing. Some species are even considered to be endangered.
