This volume critically reviews all previously published work of
parasites that interact with krill (order Euphausiacea) updating
misconceptions and summarizing the diversity of epibionts,
ectoparasites, mesoparasites and endoparasites that interact with
these crustaceans. As far as we know, there is a lack of books
about parasites of marine crustaceans not targeted to fisheries and
aquaculture. Thus, this would be the most complete and integrative
monograph of parasites of marine zooplankton and micro nektonic
organisms worldwide. Krill form immense aggregations and serve as
food for multiple planktonic and nektonic predators playing a
crucial role in pelagic food web. Besides, several species are also
used for human consumption. For these reasons there is a growing
concern about the health issues that krill parasites may impose on
other species, including us. This book provides a comprehensive
review of parasites of a crustacean order that can extrapolate to
potential parasites in other crustacean taxa worldwide.
