Recent Advances in Freshwater Crustacean Biodiversity and
Conservation focuses on minor crustacean groups and regionally
endemic groups, all from freshwaters. Chapters in this book cover
crustaceans such as Maxillopods, Mysids, Cumaceans, Isopods,
Amphipods, Branchiopods, Copepods, and Decapods. Each looks at
global or regional fauna and discusses conservation issues for that
group. The majority of the chapters are based on papers presented
at symposia organized by the editors at two international
scientific meetings held in Barcelona and Washington DC. The
contributors are world-renowned experts on their groups, as well as
on freshwater crustacean conservation and biodiversity at global
levels. It has previously been difficult for conservation managers,
NGOs, and university professors and students who may not have
access to comprehensive journal subscriptions to find relevant
information on diversity and conservation of freshwater
crustaceans. This book meets that need, addressing crustacean
groups not previously treated and providing additional information
beyond any presented in existing books. As the editors write in
their introduction: we cannot conserve and we cannot protect what
we do not know exists. This is a reliable, cutting-edge reference
for anybody involved in crustacean research: students, researchers,
agencies, and NGOs, as well as science educators, conservationists,
and government conservation policymakers. The book will also be
useful for those working in aquaculture and fisheries, given that
many of the taxa discussed are economically important.

For their great commercial importance as a human food delicacy,
crayfish are now becoming of wider interest to molecular
biologists, and also to conservationists due to the fact that in
some countries many of the native crayfish species are under threat
from human activity, disease, and competition from other introduced
crayfish species. Helmed by three editors in Japan, Europe, and the
US, this book invites contributions from experts around the globe,
covering the conservation status and biology of all endangered
species, taxonomy, and distribution of crayfishes worldwide.

It was the year of 1969 when this monograph was originally
published in Japanese by Professor TADASHI KAWAI, titled as "The
Plasma Proteins, Their Fundamental and Clinical Aspects." After I
read through the Japanese edition, I was impressed by its rather
complete coverage of the subjects and their detailed descriptions.
I have felt that this excellent monograph should be distributed not
only among our Japanese scien tists but also among many other
colleagues throughout the world. I am happy, the refore, to know
that the English edition of his monograph, partly revised, is ready
to be published at this time. Professor KAWAI received his
postgraduate medical training in U.S.A. for seven years, and was
certified by the American Board of Pathology in both Anatomical and
Clinical Pathology in Fall, 1962. Thus, I believe, he is the most
suitable fellow for publishing the English edition of this kind.
