Answer 2

Prawn Is crustaceans

Males prawns have specially modified limbs or claspers to grasp the female during release of sperm. Female crabs have a broader abdominal flap than males which is used to brood eggs. Most decapods copulate, mating couples apparently finding each other with the help of released chemicals such as pheromones. Fertilisation is external but many decapod females brood the eggs on their abdomen until hatching. A female brooding eggs is said to be "in berry", and should not be collected in this condition. Larvae hatch out as free swimmers in the plankton, usually called zooea, and go through several changes before turning into miniature adults.

@ b1ss: Why answer then??

Anyway, prawns probably breed the same as most other crusutaceans, which is once a year. They will move to a certain level of the shore and breed, drop spawn etc. The juveniles hatch and come back to the same place a year later.

The prawns you eat are bred differently in farms.
So, there you go.

Answer 4

a woman prawn friends after she moults (sheds her shell). using its long claws, the no longer hassle-free-shelled male prawn embraces the female & protects her for a million-2 days until eventually her shell hardens. He deposits his sperm interior the female in a gelantinous mass (spermatophore) between the strolling legs of the female. some hours after mating, the eggs are laid & fertilized. The eggs are then transferred to the backside of the tail of the female the place they are saved aerated and wiped sparkling. The eggs proceed to be related to the tummy until eventually they hatch.
