Work out which invertebrate Activity 1. Lay out 10 images of rocky shore creatures (see below for examples) images out flat on a table. 2. Brief the children on the key features of each group of animals (see descriptions below). 3. In pairs children should try to name the animal, work out which group it scientific group it belongs to and how it feeds (i.e. Predator, grazer or filter feeder). 4. Correct the children’s answers. Resources needed Good pictures (or preserved examples) of the following creatures, number the pictures 1 to 10. European Lobster (Hommarus . Common Sea Urchin (Echinus gammarus) esculentus) . Edible crab (Cancer pagurus) . Periwinkle (Littorina littorea) . Common shore crab (Carcinus . Barnacle (Semibalanus maenas) balanoides) . Beadlet anemone (Actinia equina) .

Around 1,500 living species of starfish occur on the seabed in all the world's oceans, from the tropics to subzero polar waters. They are found from the intertidal zone down to abyssal depths, 6,000m below the surface. Starfish typically have a central disc and five arms, though some species have a larger number of arms. The aboral or upper surface may be smooth, granular or spiny, and is covered with overlapping plates.

Their However, little is known about the proteomic composition of coelomic morphology in starfish is well described (Kanungo, 1984; fluid, an important biofluid circulating throughout the animal’s body Sharlaimova et al., 2014). Coelomocytes are not only mediators of and reflecting the overall biological status of the organism. In this innate immune responses (Smith et al., 2010), but are also actively study, we used LC-MALDI tandem mass spectrometry to characterize involved in the early repair phase of starfish arm regeneration (Ben the proteome of the cell-free coelomic fluid of the starfish Asterias Khadra et al., 2017; Ferrario et al., 2018), providing wound closure ‘ ’ rubens and to follow the changes occurring in response to puncture and hemostatic activity.
