As one of the largest families within the Caridea, the Alpheidae
have attracted much attention for its species richness, especially
on coral reefs. The Alpheidae are one of the most abundant decapods
in tropical and subtropical areas, with 48 genera and more than 700
known species. The Alpheidae present a particular challenge in
terms of both taxonomy and systematics as they are difficult to
identify (some species vary in their growth and there are often
large differences between the sexes). Traditional, morphology-based
research on the Alpheidae still plays an important role in
identifying species, compared with new methods, such as the short
gene sequences. Based on more than 2000 specimens collected from
the China Seas, this book describes and clearly illustrates 146
species belonging to 16 genera of the Alpheidae. It also presents
the key features of every genus and every species within every
genus, to enable readers to easily identify the alphid shrimps of
the China Seas.
