Does anyone know if Pern has fresh and/or salt-water crustaceans?

Things like shrimp, lobster, crab, crayfish, etc. Obviously with their own Perny names and all, but I can't think why there wouldn't be native crustaceans, even if the settlers didn't bring any (and why wouldn't they? Sooooo tasty!). The planet has insects after all and crustaceans are just big ol aquatic insects. Lobster is the cockroach of the sea! :jg:

So, what do you think? Fresh and salt water crustaceans, Yay or Nay?

They have crawlers, i think that's what they are called. They are like a crab if I am remembering right.

Crawlers are similar to spiders.

However, there was a type of fish that was found in tidal pools, possibly in Dragonsinger, that seemed to me to be shelled type. I just got home from work and need supper, but if I have time later, I'll check it out.

Spiderclaws?

Yep! From DLG:

Spiderclaws resembled crabs with many pairs of jointed legs

No mention of whether there are freshwater ones, but why not?[/color]
