Jonathan, G.E. and Powell, C.B. and Hart, A.I. (1985) Identification of West African estuarine shrimp and crab larvae. In: 4th Annual Conference of the Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON) , 26-29 November, 1985 , Port-Harcourt, Nigeria.
Abstract
The paper deals with the decapod crustacean larvae likely to be found in fresh and brackish waters in tropical west Africa. It summarizes results from an ongoing program of describing larvae hatched directly from adults of known species, to provide the identification keys necessary for applied research on nursery grounds, plankton ecology and pollution effects. A preliminary key to stage - 1 larvae is given for approximately 40 species. In includes all the genera, and nearly all the species, known to produce larvae in fresh and low-salinity waters. The common species of higher salinity waters are also included
