Crustaceans: Lobsters, Barnacles, Shrimp, and Their Relatives

Dive into the armored wonders of the sea with Crustaceans: Lobsters, Barnacles, Shrimp, and Their Relatives, a fascinating archival film that scuttles through the anatomy, functions, habitats, and economic value of these clawed marvels. This mid-century gem plunges you underwater: a lobster snaps its pincers in a rocky lair, barnacles cling to a ship’s hull, shrimp dart through coral shadows—each a snapshot of crustacean life. The camera unveils their secrets—jaws grind kelp, eggs hatch in briny nurseries, a claw snaps off in autotomy’s escape, shells molt to reveal soft renewal—vivid scenes paired with crisp narration. From ocean trenches to coastal markets, their worth shines: lobsters grace plates, shrimp net fortunes. A mid-20th-century lens on nature’s tough-shelled tribe, it’s biology brought to life.
