Aspects of Decapod Crustacean Biology: The Proceedings of a Symposium held at the Zoological Society of London on 8th and 9th April 1987 (Symposia of the Zoological Society of London)

This diverse Symposium of the Zoological Society of London collection reports important themes in the life cycles and natural history of decapod crustaceans. The behavior and reproductive physiology of certain farmed species are examined, as are the rates of growth, population replenishment, predation, and movement of wild species. For all groups discussed, attention is given to the uptake of trace metals and other potential pollutants. Studies of general and endocrine physiology are also included, since some of these species have been intensively studied by neurobiologists and are yielding important results.Fincham, A.
