| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Aquatic Animal Medicine & Marine Veterinary Science Specialty: Invertebrate Medicine, Aquaculture Health, Marine Biology DESCRIPTION ----------- This comprehensive veterinary textbook provides an authoritative exploration of crustacean biology, focusing on the physiological mechanisms, evolutionary adaptations, and contemporary conservation challenges facing this diverse group of aquatic invertebrates. As crustaceans play increasingly vital roles in aquaculture, marine ecosystems, and veterinary practice, this resource delivers essential knowledge for professionals working with commercially important species such as shrimp, lobsters, crabs, and crayfish. The text bridges fundamental biological sciences with practical veterinary applications, offering detailed insights into respiratory systems, osmoregulation, molting physiology, immune function, and reproductive biology specific to crustacean species. The book systematically examines the evolutionary history of crustaceans, tracing their remarkable diversification across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments over millions of years. Readers will gain understanding of phylogenetic relationships, adaptive radiation patterns, and the morphological innovations that have enabled crustaceans to colonize virtually every aquatic habitat on Earth. This evolutionary perspective provides crucial context for understanding species-specific physiological variations and predicting responses to environmental stressors. Recognizing the growing threats to crustacean populations worldwide, this textbook dedicates substantial coverage to evidence-based conservation strategies and sustainable management practices. Topics include habitat restoration, disease management in wild and cultured populations, climate change impacts, pollution effects, and regulatory frameworks for protecting endangered crustacean species. The integration of physiological knowledge with conservation science makes this an indispensable resource for veterinarians, aquaculture specialists, and conservation biologists working to ensure the health and sustainability of crustacean populations. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of crustacean anatomy, physiology, and organ system function including cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, digestive, and endocrine systems • Detailed examination of molting cycles, exoskeleton formation, and growth regulation with clinical implications for health assessment • Evolutionary biology and phylogenetics of major crustacean groups including decapods, isopods, amphipods, and copepods • Species-specific physiological adaptations to extreme environments including deep-sea, polar, and hypersaline habitats • Current conservation challenges including overfishing, habitat degradation, invasive species, and disease emergence in wild populations • Sustainable aquaculture practices and health management protocols for commercially important crustacean species • Evidence-based strategies for population monitoring, habitat restoration, and biodiversity conservation in marine and freshwater ecosystems TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Aquatic animal veterinarians and marine veterinary specialists treating invertebrate patients • Aquaculture health professionals managing shrimp farms, lobster hatcheries, and crayfish production facilities • Marine biologists and conservation scientists working on crustacean research and species protection programs • Veterinary students and graduate researchers specializing in aquatic animal medicine and invertebrate biology • Wildlife veterinarians and zoo professionals caring for crustacean species in captive and rehabilitation settings INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$280.00 |
