A thorough review of the evolution and biogeography of crustaceans to determine how crustaceans have been able to evolve in a number of climates and habitats; this volume also examines the ecological and biogeographical implications of that evolutionary process.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Brings together current thinking on this diverse group of marine decapod crustaceans.

"Much of the biological and other research efforts on crustaceans have been driven by their importance to humans as a food source. Production comes from a diverse array of methods and scales of extraction, from small recreational or subsistence fisheries to industrial scale operations. Most crustacean catch comes from shrimp fisheries with over two million tonnes taken in 2014, mainly by trawl. The genera Acetes, Fenneropenaeus, and Pandalus account for around three quarters of this catch. Crab, krill and lobster are the other main crustacean products (around 600,000 t crab, 380,000 t krill and 300,000 t lobster in 2014). Trends in crustacean fisheries are broadly similar to those of other s...
The second volume of The Natural History of the Crustacea Series, covering how crustaceans live in a wide range of environments, with emphasis on how they exploit food sources.
The published works are derived from the Zoological catalogue of Australia database. Taxa in the Australian fauna are divided among volumes to form sets of about 1800-2000 species available names, such that each volume comprises the whole or part of one or more major groups.
The world's most isolated continent has spawned some of the most unusual words in the English language. This comprehensive guide to the origins and definitions of such words as donga and growler, is supported by more than 15,000 quotations drawn from over 1000 sources. A treat for anyone who's ever dreamed of visiting Antarctica.
This book offers an updated and comprehensive overview of crustacean development.
Explores the functional morphology of crustaceans, which cover the main body parts and systems.
