Fishermen, marine aquarists, biologists studying seashore and coastal
waters, and those involved in trading shellfish and even restaurateurs
are aware of the great diversity of crustaceans inhabiting the seas
around the British Isles, Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.
Crayfishes, Lobsters and Crabs of Europe will enable the reader to
identify 42 crustacean species of commercial importance found in these
regions during coastal explorations, fishing trips, displayed in public
aquaria or available in restaurants, including selected freshwater
crayfishes, deep-sea species and some imported species.
The book also includes sections on the gross internal and external
structure of these Crustacea, their life histories, classification and
nomenclature. The book is of interest to students of marine biology and
researchers in fisheries science.
