We are The Crab Lab

A team of students and scientists working together to understand the biology, ecology and behaviour of crustaceans.

Currently, we focus on intertidal hermit crabs and isopods.

However, we also have team members and associates working to understand animal welfare in the ornamental marine animal trade and the physiology of diverse crustaceans.

We are working together to understand crustaceans and create partnerships that push scientific research and innovation forward.
