Squat lobsters have been intensively studied over the past few decades, making them one of the best known deepwater crustacean groups. Of the superfamilies Chirostyloidea and Galatheoidea, they are highly visible crustaceans on seamounts, continental margins, shelf environments, hydrothermal vents and coral reefs. This new book provides keys for identification and reviews the current state of knowledge of the taxonomy, evolution, life history, distribution, ecology and fisheries of squat lobsters.
