Publication* Remarkable Shrimps -
Adaptations and Natural History of the Carideansby Raymond T
Bauer. Explores the evolution, natural
history, biological diversity, and commercial importance of caridean
shrimps-- a fascinating and colorful group of aquatic organisms
that inhabit freshwater and marine environments from the
tropics to the poles. Covers reproductive biology and sexual
systems, including hermaphroditism and sex change. Provides evidence
for sex pheromones in the attraction of males to females. The
symbiotic relationships of shrimps with invertebrates such as
corals, sea anemones, and sea urchins and also with fishes are
fascinating phenomena of marine ecosystems. The status of caridean
fisheries and aquaculture is appraised. Profiles each of the
nearly thirty families of caridean shrimps in an informal style
that is nevertheless rich with precise and useful references.
