== Anatomy == {{Main|Decapod anatomy}} The body of a [[Decapoda|decapod]] [[crustacean]], such as a crab, lobster, or prawn (shrimp), is made up of twenty [[body segment]]s grouped into two main body parts, the [[cephalothorax]] and the [[Abdomen#Arthropoda|abdomen]]. Each segment may possess two pairs of [[appendage]]s, although in various groups, these may be reduced or gone. On average, crayfish grow to {{convert|17.5|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length.
