Crustaceans: Physiological Characteristics, Evolution and Conservation Strategies

Crustaceans: Physiological Characteristics, Evolution and Conservation Strategies

Crustaceans: Physiological Characteristics, Evolution and Conservation Strategies examines the physiology, evolution, ecology, and conservation of crustaceans in aquatic environments. It covers Pontocaspian crustaceans in the Baltic Sea, decapod larval development, the physiological effects of fat-soluble vitamins, and management and conservation strategies for crustaceans in temperate sandy beach ecosystems.
