The morphology and morphotypes of the Hawaiian river shrimp, Macrobrachium
grandimanus Randall, 1840 (Caridea: Palaemonidae), are examined in this study. This …

Grooming behaviors reduce fouling of body regions. In decapods, grooming time budgets,
body regions groomed, and grooming appendages are known in several species; however …

Setae are vital in grooming activities and aiding in the removal of epibionts and sedimentary
fouling from the body surfaces of decapod crustaceans. Thus, the setal structures and their …

In crustaceans, grooming behaviors decrease fouling by removing debris from the
exoskeleton and body structures; these grooming behaviors improve respiration, sensory …

The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is a large shrimp extensively used
in aquaculture whose grooming behaviors were analyzed in this study. Macrobrachium …

Grooming behaviors that decrease fouling have been documented in various animals. The
result of autogrooming has been frequently documented, with the behaviors and time spent …

Respiration, sensory input, movement, and molting rely on crustacean body regions being
free of fouling. While the grooming appendages of shrimps have been described, few …

H. sinensis used chelae more frequently than walking legs in agonistic interactions. In
mating behavior, both species made a copulative posture without courtship behavior. Males …

Body fouling has been reduced by grooming behaviors. In decapods, grooming has been
focused on gills, sensory structures, and jointed appendages. In this study, grooming …

Grooming behaviors reduce body fouling and are well documented in crustaceans. There
are more detailed laboratory-based grooming studies on fully aquatic crabs compared to …
