Carcinology

Edit links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Study of crustaceans

Not to be confused withoncology, the study ofcancers andcarcinomas.

Various crustaceans, all of interest to carcinologists.

Carcinology is a branch ofzoology that consists of the study ofcrustaceans. Crustaceans are a large traditionalsubphylum ofarthropods classified by having a hard exoskeleton made ofchitin or chitin andcalcium, three body regions, and jointed, paired appendages.^[1] Crustaceans includelobsters,crayfish,shrimp,krill,copepods,barnacles andcrabs.^[2] Most crustaceans are aquatic, but some can beterrestrial,sessile, orparasitic. Other names for carcinology aremalacostracology,crustaceology, andcrustalogy, and a person who studies crustaceans is acarcinologist or occasionally amalacostracologist, acrustaceologist, or acrustalogist.

The wordcarcinology derives fromGreekκαρκίνος,karkínos, "crab"; and-λογία,-logia.

Subfields

[edit]

Carcinology is a subdivision ofarthropodology, the study ofarthropods which includesarachnids,insects, andmyriapods.^[3] Carcinology branches off into taxonomically oriented disciplines such as:^[4]

astacology – the study ofcrayfish
cirripedology – the study ofbarnacles
copepodology – the study ofcopepods
