Naruse Tohru, . and Chung Arthur Y. C., . and Joseph Tangah, . (2016) Decapod crustaceans in the mangrove ecosystems around Sandakan and Lower Kinabatangan-Segama Wetlands Sabah. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Invertebrates such as decapod crustaceans receive relatively little publicity and conservation attention in spite of their key role in the mangrove ecosystem functioning. Decapod crustaceans play important roles in the mangrove ecosystems but even the other macro-fauna within the mangrove ecosystem is not well documented in Sabah. We conducted faunal surveys of decapod crustaceans within the mangrove areas of Sepilok Laut and Lower Kinabatangan-Segama Wetlands. Although the periods of the surveys were limited several interesting crustaceans including undescribed crab genus and species were collected. The Sepilok Laut and Lower Kinabatangan - Segama Wetlands are known for their high diversity and probably harbour many other interesting taxa of decapod crustaceans awaiting to be described.
