dc.descriptionA pictorial handbook, Field Guide for the Edible Crustacea of the Philippines was written by Mr. Hiroshi Motoh, leader of the ecology project of the Aquaculture Department, with the supervision of Dr. Katsuzo Kuronuma, president emeritus of Tokyo University of Fisheries. This handbook describes 37 species of common edible crustacea, belonging to the order Decapoda, which are found in the Philippines. Fourteen of the species are commonly known as prawns or shrimps, 8 are lobsters or crayfish, and 15 are crabs. A color plate of each species accompanies biological, ecological, taxonomic, and economic descriptions. Each species presented is discussed under six major topics: Name (the scientific, English, and Philippine names are given); Diagnostic characters by which the species is identified; Ecology referring to the habitat, behavior, etc. of each species; Geographical distribution of species; its Fisheries which includes fishing gear used to catch it and known fishing grounds; and the Economic potential of the species. An immediate practical use of the handbook is to pint out the aquaculture value of the species and their requirements for culture or eventual culture. Besides aquaculturists, it will also benefit nature lovers, students, and amateur scientists to read the handbook; the classification scheme by which the species were arranged is provided in a systematic list. While the title suggests that the species dealt with are commonly found in the Philippines, most are also found in Hawaii, Japan, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, westward to the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, and the East Coast of Africa. The area covered is commonly known as Indo-Pacific Region or Indo-West Pacific Region in zoogeography. Printed in Japan, it consists of 96 pages and 37 color plates.en
