註釋

Although crustaceans abound in Australian coastal and inland waters, knowledge of them is mainly confined to a few commercial species, especially prawns, crabs and rock lobsters (marine crayfish). What is a crustacean and why are they such an important component of marine life? All crustaceans have two pairs of antennae at some stage of their life cycle, separating them from others in the arthropod group, such as insects. The western rock lobster, Panulirus cygnus, forms the basis of the largest single species fishery in Australia, valued at 200 million dollars per year. This book is a guide to the more common crustaceans found in Australia, invaluable for field identification for anglers and naturalists and those whose only contact with crustaceans is the local fish market or seafood restaurant.
