▪ Abstract Studies of the production of stream insects are now numerous, and general factors
controlling the secondary production of stream communities are becoming evident. In this …

Ageing and longevity is a neglected field of crustacean biology. Information on longevity is
available for less than 2% of the extant species of the Decapoda. Maximum ages reliably …

Crayfish are the dominant decapods in many freshwater, and even terrestrial, habitats,
playing important community roles through their large size, mobility, behaviour and …

Superimposed on the natural distribution of freshwater crayfish is one orchestrated by
humans, mainly from deliberate introductions to satisfy demand for this food, although …

Crustaceans play an important role in marine ecosystem and worldwide fisheries. Accurate
and quantitative description of growth is crucial in modelling the demographics and fisheries …

Stable isotopes have been used to analyse food webs and (or) trace movements of animals
for about 30 years. There has been some debate on the use of different tissues and …

The natural rate of lipofuscin accumulation in an eyestalk ganglion was determined from
microtagged European lobsters, Homarus gammarus, of known age, recaptured from the …

In the last 50 years, at least eight non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) have been
introduced into Great Britain for a variety of purposes including aquaculture, fish markets …

Burrowing into riverbanks by animals transfers sediment directly into river channels and has
been hypothesised to accelerate bank erosion and promote mass failure. A field monitoring …

Crustaceans, a commercially important class of arthropods in fisheries and aquaculture,
represent a major worldwide food component for human consumption. Recently, growing …
