About this series "Crustaceana Monographs" has been established as a series of books on carcinology in the widest sense to accommodate papers exceeding the page limit of the journal "Crustaceana." Good quality contributions are sought that will preferably fill between 300 and 500 pages, but at least 100 pages and up to 600 pages in print. It is the aim of the Publisher to publish two or three volumes per year. In all its aspects, i.e., format, editorial instructions, etc., this series is indeed intended to represent a series of books truly attached to "Crustaceana International Journal of Crustacean Research." About this volume This is a generic revision of the entire caligid family including detailed descriptions of all genera within the family along with a discussion on the taxonomic status of the Euryphoridae. Based on the type and nontype specimens, a revision of the genera of the Caligidae was conducted. The external morphology, functional morphology, life history, and host-parasite relationships of the Caligidae are presented. A key to the genera of the Caligidae and the Euryphoridae is provided. Detailed redescriptions of 31 species belonging to 24 genera are given including revised diagnoses of all 28 recognized genera. The revision will be extremely useful to copepodologists, carcinologists, parasitologists, and ichthyologists because it compiles an extensive array of information and literature into one book. Because the Caligidae, commonly known as sea lice, have become increasingly important due to their deleterious effects on fishes, especially cultured or farmed fishes throughout the world, aqua culturists have become very concerned about sea lice . This book will be an invaluable resource for all the above mentioned professionals because it will compile a voluminous amount of disparate information into one reference book and allow the non-copepodologist, as well as experts in the field, to easily identify these genera with the use of the taxonomic key.
