This volume documents the arrival in the past hundreds years of 60 species of crustaceans (shrimps, lobsters and crabs) in the Mediterranean Sea. Three quarters of these species, mostly of tropical origin are now largely settled in the Mediterranean Basin and some of them have become an important resource for fisheries.
