Structure, Ecology and Life Cycle Sisto, Gennaro. author text Electronic books. xx 2013 monographic eng 1 online resource (134 pages) In this book, the authors discuss the structure, ecology and life cycle of crustaceans. Topics include the structure, development and evolution of crustacean eyes; the effect of gamma radiation on the extraction of chitosan from the exoskeleton of crustaceans; lipid transport and metabolism in crustaceans; and soft-bottom crustacean assemblages influenced by anthropogenic activities in the Arabian Gulf.
