I'll bet there's a misprint on the site and agree with you, wwh, that probably crustaceology was the word intended--but I'll go hunting through some sources to check out this cussed custacelology!
Here's something from MW on crustaceology with a synonym you might like:
"Carcinology \Car`ci*nol"o*gy\, n. [Gr. ? a crab + -logy.] (Zo["o]l.) The department of zo["o]logy which
treats of the Crustacea (lobsters, crabs, etc.); -- called also malacostracology and crustaceology.
