This book presents all Malacostracan cructaceans occurring in the
Baltic Sea in water salinity from 2 to 15 psu. The Baltic sea is
very special due to its low salinity and characteristic fauna. For
each of the 58 species the systematic position, the origin and
distribution in European waters are given, and the environmental
preferences, the role in the food web and human economy described.
The book describes the history of the Baltic sea and the occurrence
of crustaceans in its history against the terms of hydrological
conditions, explaining why in the Baltic sea only part of all
marine crustaceans occur. The book is richly illustrated with
photographs and beautiful pictures of animals specifically prepared
for this book.
