About this book

Language: Swedish, with bilingual identification keys in English and Swedish

Whether you are a marine biologist, beachcomber or just curious about marine life, the book opens the door to discoveries of many fascinating and often overlooked species that live in Sweden's seas. A world filled with armoured hunters, skilled stealthers and luminous creatures.

This book features hermit crabs that carry their homes on their backs, lobsters that communicate with their claws and luminous shrimps that sparkle in the dark like living stars. With their bodily diversity, physiological flexibility and creative life strategies, crustaceans have managed to colonise a wide variety of habitats – from shallow beaches with shore crabs hunting in the shallow pools of the tide to the pitch-black depths of the sea where North Sea shrimps swim.

The group of krill, which in Sweden only includes luminous shrimps, is a marine species. The closely related group of decapod crustaceans also includes mainly marine species, with a few of the Swedish species live in freshwater. This volume of The Encyclopedia of the Swedish Flora and Fauna offers breathtaking diversity – from slender shrimps with neat legs to armoured crabs and unknown, small species with names such as troll lobster and ghost crayfish. A total of 96 species are described, all with beautiful and informative illustrations, detailed texts and clear identification keys.

Summary in Swedish:
Oavsett om du är marinbiolog, strandfyndare eller bara nyfiken på livet i havet, öppnar boken dörren till upptäckter av många fascinerande och ofta förbisedda arter som lever i våra svenska hav. En värld fylld av bepansrade jägare, skickliga smygare och lysande varelser.

Du får lära känna eremitkräftor som bär sina hem på ryggen, humrar som kommunicerar med klorna och lysräkor som glimmar i mörkret som levande stjärnor. Kräftdjur har med sin kroppsliga mångfald, fysiologiska flexibilitet och kreativa livsstrategier lyckats kolonisera en mängd olika livsmiljöer – från grunda stränder med strandkrabbor som jagar i tidvattnets grunda pölar till kolsvarta havsdjup där nordhavsräkor simmar.

Gruppen krill, som i Sverige endast omfattar lysräkor, är marina arter. Även den närbesläktade gruppen tiofotade kräftdjur omfattar främst marina arter, några få av de svenska arterna lever i sötvatten. Denna volym av Nationalnyckeln till Sveriges Flora och Fauna bjuder på hisnande mångfald – från slanka räkor med nätta ben till pansarklädda krabbor och okända, små arter med namn som trollhummer och spökkräfta. Totalt beskrivs 96 arter, alla med vackra och informativa illustrationer, detaljerade texter och tydliga bestämningsnycklar.
