Excellent dissection - thank you very much for publishing it. We have used this in lieu of a dissection for our Aquatic Zoology students @ Hull University.
Thanks for a very clear and informative crab anatomy explanation. I was translating an article on cuisine and this helped me confirm terms for certain parts of the crab. My crabs live in sweet water, though, but their digestive and reproductive systems should be positioned similarly with your blue crab. I guess.
Thank you for making and publishing this video! First year teaching zoology and needed to write up a procedure, and this was an amazing resource. I'll be sharing the video with my high schoolers as well, just in case their dissections don't go well 😅
Thanks for this video, it answered some of my questions. I am also wondering why the crab could eat so much when their stomach seems quite limited size. We had some videos showing crab eating fish or shellfish, with the victim's body mass clearly larger than the inside of the crab. My assumption is crab digest pretty quickly and output wastes faster than they can eat. That might be wrong, because most of the crab waste/poo seems same as fish poo.
Seems like a jelly-alien/suit of armor. Certainly of intelligent design. Edit: Was just eating some discount store crab. Delicious. My mind wanders to the Astrological association with Crab, and the Moon. Allen Turing, Cancer Sign. The guy who made the MTG card game, also Cancer sign. Even Microsoft's Bill. I found fascinating while watching this and eating crab, that the 'components' of each shell could be used to extract the meat from other parts of the exoskeletal parts. Sticking a 'bone' into a larger bone, or smaller bone. And there is something there. Machine building. All parts useful to our interchangeable parts; like computer programming, or MTG deck mechanics. Not a Cancer sign myself, but acknowledge the machine-like industry of crustaceans.. tied to perhaps, an equally 'hollow' moon exo-structure.
I have to dissect crabs for a research project (I'm a high school student with 0 experience and absolutely no guidance) so you have quite literallly saved my life and grade. Praying that it work out. Any tips for removing that epidermis that was covering the stomach. I'm doing a gut content analysis so I definitely need the stomach mostly intact.
Fantastic video! I´m using it with my students. I have a doubt with gonopores. Are you sure that those holes aren´t part of the abdomen closing mechanism? I thought the sexual openings for Heterotremata subsection were, in general, at the coxas of the 5th pereiopods for males. (We don´t have blue crabs here).
That's a pity. If I was allergic to fish I could live with that...but shellfish , like crabs, lobster, shrimp, clam, oysters, scallop I could eat 5 days a week.
I've watched a couple of crab videos and BOOM, now my entire recommended section is filled with crustaceans
Oh no my curiosity will fill my recomendations with crab rave
Great video and very thorough. My blue crab dissections tend to be of short duration and much more aggressive.
And you eat them
😂
HELP WHAT
@@FrisibleConfusionhis crab tends to be flaming hot in some water when he’s dissecting it

I'm not studying crabs or anything, but this was a great video to watch. Feel much smarter now.
Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs
ARE YOU FEELING IT NOW, MR KRABS??

Bruh , TH-cam brought me here and I'm greatfull for learning about the bpue crab
This is an excellent video. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for explaining how to remove the carapace during dissection!

After watching some crab cooking videos by Japanese chef, TH-cam understands their knife skills could no longer satisfy me and suggests this ... 🥰

Thank you so much for this video. Beautifully dissected and explained 👍👍
Marvellous animals, thanks for sharing!
"are you feeling it now, mr crabs?"
studying crabs currently. very cool video!

Hope everything went well...
Are the" nubs "on both claws similar to human finger prints in the sense that every crab has its own pattern & shape & size?
Sad I can’t like more than once.. Thank you doctor.
Hey hey do you now the carb stomach is close to the mouth of the crah
Thank you very much for sharing! It's very useful
I can only hope one day I'll be on alien TH-cam getting pulled apart
Reject Humanity embrace crab !!!!

excellent
very good!
many thanks for the info, this was really useful for a study!
🎉
thanks for my students!
This guy tastes so good
oh dear how did i end up on here lmao i mean im curious
Is it dead
I'm just hear to learn how to pick a blue crab apart to eat as stupidly scientific as possible
im allergic to crustaceans...

Crabs are creepy.
No they are cute but they look like little monsters (not lady gaga fans)

Wtf their stomach is behind their eyes
Chắc có mình tôi người Việt Nam
