An Overview of Crustacean Diversity in Mangrove Ecosystem

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Arthropod Diversity and Conservation in the Tropics and Sub-tropics

Abstract

Mangrove forests are the protective barrier of coastal inhabitants against natural calamities and prevent soil erosion protecting the land behind. These typical ecosystems provide areas for breeding, nesting, foraging and shelter for economically important organisms. Hence, most of the growing population in the world live within easy reach of coastal areas. Crustaceans like lobsters, crabs, crayfish, shrimps, barnacles, etc. are very important in the nutrient recycling and are most crucial in human economy. Crustaceans are unique source of nutrients like proteins, fats and minerals to aquatic life as well as to human beings. As mangroves act as nursery, high juvenile abundance of many aquatic organisms is seen. Today these economically important ecosystems are among the most threatened habitats with 30–50 % of global loss due to natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Awareness in public through media, Non Government Organisations (NGOs), Government organisations and educational institutes who must come together for restoration, rehabilitation and conservation of this delicate and precious ecosystem.
