Crustaceana is a leading journal in the world on crustacean research. Including the latest papers from all branches of zoology, it gives up-to-date information on aspects such as taxonomy, zoogeography, ecology, physiology, anatomy, genetics, palaeontology, and biometry, and covers all groups of Crustacea. Boasting a large international circulation, Crustaceana takes care to supply its readers with an abstract to each article printed in both English and another congress language.

Numerous tables and figures add to the already detailed papers. A special "Reviews" section introduces relevant books and is supported by the "Announcements", providing information on forthcoming meetings and events in the field. In addition, an extensive segment of "Notes and News", is included regularly. Crustaceana is the one journal that no one interested in this field should be without.
