Fiddler Crabs Home

Chertoprud, E.S., V.A. Spiridonov, I.N. Marin, and V.O. Mokievsky (2012) Brachyuran crabs (Crustacea Decapoda Brachyura) of the mangrove intertidal zone of southern Vietnam. Pp. 258–295 in Benthic Fauna of the Bay of Nhatrang, Southern Vietnam. Volume 2, T.A. Britayev and D.S. Pavlov, eds. Moscow: KMK Scientific Press.

A lot of the species IDs in this paper are a bit suspect, although some are ceretainly correct. Many represent the first time they've been found in Vietnam, which could be correct or could be due to incorrect identification, particularly with some of the readily confused and/or highly variable species.
