Carapace length refers to the measurement of the dorsal (top) shell of certain animals, particularly crustaceans like crabs and lobsters, as well as turtles. It is typically measured from the front edge of the shell to the back edge, providing an indication of the animal's size and health. This measurement is important for biological studies, conservation efforts, and fisheries management.
