Description
The widely distributed
American Lobster, Homarus americanus, which inhabits coastal waters from Canada to the Carolinas,
is an important keystone species. A valuable source of income, its abundance or rarity often reflects the health of ecosystems occupied
by these crustaceans. This comprehensive reference brings together all that is known of these fascinating animals. It will appeal to
biologists, zoologists, aquaculturalists, fishery biologists, and researchers working with other lobster species, as well as neurobiologists
looking for more information on the model system they so often use.
