Overview
Marine crustaceans (Phylum: Arthropoda; Subphylum: Crustacea) are very much important in the pelagic, and benthic trophic networks as they serve as food for several constituents of marine life. As the marine crustaceans such as shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters, hermit crabs, krill, stomatopods and barnacles are rich in protein and many of these groups help to meet the food requirements for mankind’s ever increasing population, their cultivation is also gaining greater significance to the global aquaculture industry. Further, the byproducts of crustaceans wasted by the marine fish processing industries are also found to be of great use in the production of valuable pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Oral administration of marine crustacean microparticle dietary supplement has been reported to prevent and treat Inflammatory bowel disease.
Though several books are presently available on the Biology and Aquaculture of marine crustaceans, a new title relating to the nutritional quality and human health benefits of marine crustaceans is the need of the hour. The present title would be the first of its kind to answer this long felt need. As the importance of nutritional marine life is receiving much attention in the recent decades, it is strongly hoped that the present title will provide a complete information on the nutritional values of the different constituents of marine crustaceans of the world’s seas and oceans. Further, It would be of great use as a text-cum-reference for students, teachers and researchers of various disciplines including Marine Biology and Fisheries Science; a valuable source of reference for college and university libraries; and as a guide for the industries involved in the development of new human food and live feeds.
