N2  - 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
