درباره این کتاب:
This book
explores the biology of decapod shrimps, a
group of animals known to most people as a
nutritious and tasty food item. Shrimps
are amazingly diverse in size, shape,
coloration, behavior and natural history.
Shrimp fisheries and aquaculture are a
vital part of the USA and world economies.
These crustaceans are key ecological and
food-web components of marine and
freshwater habitats. The book synthesizes
information on the taxonomic and
ecological diversity of shrimps, the
structure and function of shrimp anatomy,
antifouling adaptations, coloration and
camouflage, reproductive biology, sexual
systems, mating systems and behavior, life
history strategies, symbioses between
shrimps and other organisms, shrimp
fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the
evolution and phylogeny of shrimps. All
chapters are written within an
adaptational and evolutionary perspective.
Important questions about shrimp biology
are asked, and hypotheses for testing in
future research are proposed. The book is
spiced up with personal anecdotes and
observations from the author’s research
experiences. This book is intended
as a comprehensive reference, a “go to”
book about the biology of shrimps. The
text is scientifically rigorous but
written in a style intended for a varied
readership. Thus, the book is a valuable
resource for budding or working research
scientists such as zoologists, aquatic
biologists, fisheries and aquaculture
professionals, as well as amateur
naturalists, aquarium hobbyists and
interested laypersons. As the saying goes,
“a picture is worth a thousand words,” so
that the book is amply illustrated with
figures and diagrams.The numerous color
plates, composed of photos contributed by
expert colleagues, make the world of
shrimps come alive.
