This book explores the biology of decapod shrimps, a group of animals known to most people as a nutritious and tasty food item. Shrimps are amazingly diverse in size, shape, coloration, behavior and natural history. Shrimp fisheries and aquaculture are a vital part of the USA and world economies. These crustaceans are key ecological and food-web components of marine and freshwater habitats. The book synthesizes information on the taxonomic and ecological diversity of shrimps, the structure and function of shrimp anatomy, antifouling adaptations, coloration and camouflage, reproductive biology, sexual systems, mating systems and behavior, life history strategies, symbioses between shrimps and other organisms, shrimp fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the evolution and phylogeny of shrimps. All chapters are written within an adaptational and evolutionary perspective. Important questions about shrimp biology are asked, and hypotheses for testing in future research are proposed. The book is spiced up with personal anecdotes and observations from the author’s research experiences. This book is intended as a comprehensive reference, a “go to” book about the biology of shrimps. The text is scientifically rigorous but written in a style intended for a varied readership. Thus, the book is a valuable resource for budding or working research scientists such as zoologists, aquatic biologists, fisheries and aquaculture professionals, as well as amateur naturalists, aquarium hobbyists and interested laypersons. As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” so that the book is amply illustrated with figures and diagrams.The numerous color plates, composed of photos contributed by expert colleagues, make the world of shrimps come alive.
Marine ornamental shrimp are amongst the most heavily traded invertebrate species in the aquarium industry. The majority of traded species are still collected from the wild, having a major effect on ocean ecosystems. An increase in the amount of culture of these species is now a major priority for those in the trade and for marine conservationists. Marine Ornamental Shrimp provides a global overview of the biology, culture and conservation of the major families of marine ornamental shrimp. Coverage in this thorough volume includes ecological aspects, reproductive biology, major techniques used in culture systems for maturation, larviculture, and juvenile growth, and details of the main conservation issues surrounding these important species including a discussion of the negative aspects of wild specimen collection and the ongoing efforts to mitigate such impacts. Marine Ornamental Shrimp is an important and extremely timely publication which will be an essential reference and manual for all those involved in the trade and culture of marine ornamental species, including aquaculture scientists and personnel in aquaria. Conservation biologists and invertebrate zoologists will also find much of importance within this book. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where aquaculture and biological sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this book on their shelves.

The small-but-mighty shrimp has lured diners to the table for centuries. Whether served as the featured protein in a main dish or as a savory flavor in snacks, shrimp are the world’s most popular seafood. These primordial-looking creatures spend their short lives out of sight, deep on the ocean floor, yet they have inspired an immense passion in cultures across the world. In this lively and entertaining book, Yvette Florio Lane embarks on a lively historical tour of the production and consumption of Earth’s beloved crustacean. Over the centuries, shrimp have been hailed as an indulgence, a luxury, and even an aphrodisiac. They have been served to show hospitality, demonstrate status, and celebrate special occasions. They can also be culinary ambassadors, inspiring novel cooking techniques and the introduction of new tastes around the world. Demand for the creatures, however, has now exceeded supply. Whether fished from the ocean with nets or deep-sea trawlers, or raised in modern aquaculture farms, the world produces and eats more (and cheaper) shrimp than ever before, but often at great cost. Shrimp is a delicious, fascinating, and troubling history of a culinary favorite.
Commercial Fishery and Biology of the Fresh-water Shrimp, Macrobrachium, in the Lower St. Paul River, Liberia, 1952-53 by George C. Miller (Zoologist) Pdf
A small fishery was conducted for the large commercial fresh-water shrimp, Macrobrachium vollenhovenii, using traps. A second smaller species, M. macrobrachion, was culled from the trap catch for the fishermen's use. The estuarine fishery was seasonal (May to January) during the period of low salinity. Cost of raw tail meats to the consumer was over $1.00 (U.S.) per pound. The fishermen derived more than $7,500 from the fishery. Commercial shrimp, M. vollenhovenii, spawned in the estuary from May to January. Fecundity was estimated at 12,000 to 45,000 eggs per female. As the embryo developed the color of the egg changed from red to brown. Embryonic and larval development to time of setting of M. vollenhovenii was believed similar to that of M. rosenbergii, 50 to 65 days. An intensive push-net fishery was conducted by women on the zero age group soon after the juveniles had set. Juvenile shrimp were not caught by traps. Monthly length distributions indicated that the fishery was supported by age group one, which was replaced at the end of the season by age group zero. Age group zero grew rapidly and reached a modal length of 75 to 80 mm. in 9 months in January; and adults grew slowly and increased in length to 85 to 90 mm. in May, and 100 to 105 mm. in November. The weight-length relation of M. vollenhovenii ovigerous females was expressed by the equation Low W = --4.656603 + 3.011392 Log L, and males and nonovigerous females by Log W = --4.829560 + 3.092213 Log L. The characters used to distinguish M. macrobrachion from the commercial shrimp are given. The smaller species (modal length 50 to 54 mm.), constituted 88 percent of the shrimp discarded from the commercial catch. The trap fishery harvested the adults of the two species, which differed considerably in length, without harm to either species.
As the world's population continues to grow, so does the demand for seafood. Technological advances have enabled shrimp farming to change from traditional, small-scale businesses into a global industry. This has contributed to problems with serious disease outbreaks, which have already caused several regional wipe-outs of farm shrimp populations.The shrimp farming industry continues to grow and there is a need for a source of reliable and detailed information on shrimp farming, best practice and new developments, aimed at the shrimp industry, to facilitate future sustainable growth of the industry.While The Shrimp Book, published in 2010, was written from the academic perspective, The Shrimp Book II's focus is towards the industry perspective.

Current Trends in the Study of Bacterial and Viral Fish and Shrimp Diseases by Ka Yin Leung Pdf
The important volume summarizes the current trends and developments in the study of bacterial and viral fish diseases. Books on these subjects are few and relevant review articles are mostly outdated. This volume will thus serve as a platform for scientists and aquaculturists to understand the current limitations as well as new developments so that fish health and disease control can advance to new heights.The first section provides readers with an overview of the bacterial and viral diseases and the current understanding of innate immunity and interactions with pathogens. Section II includes case studies, where three pathogens are presented, namely two bacteria (Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio anguillarum, the common causes of bacterial diseases in freshwater and marine aquaculture, respectively) and the white spot syndrome virus (an important viral disease in shrimp). These case studies serve as models for the study of various bacterial and viral diseases. Section III presents new platform technologies that are widely used in the study of human pathogens. It aims to spur fish biologists to use modern and cutting edge technologies for their studies so that the study of fish disease can move into the mainstream and focus on the basics. The final section is on marine biotechnology, discussing biotechnology products that are urgently needed for the aquaculture industry ? spin-offs from basic research, including diagnostics, immunotherapy and vaccine development, and the use of probiotics.
