Resumen:
The crustacean body is confined within a hard exoesqueleton, so the growth is discontinued and characterized by an explosive expansion after the ecdysis. The moult period, or its frequency, may change depending on the food quality, temperature, disease and others factors which may affect neurohormonal functions and its ecdysis cycle. The juvenile phase is finished by a change in the growth level and may be with the gonadal maturation. The difference in the allometric level of male - female was relatively small and in some cases of certain significance.
