Pain in crustaceans is contentious as there is debate whether they are capable of the subjective experiences of pain and suffering, or only the non-subjective, reflex response of nociception.Most definitions of pain involve the two key components of nociception and suffering. Nociception is an ability to detect noxious stimuli which evokes a reflex response that moves the entire animal, or the affected part of its body, away from the source of the stimulus.
