Abstract
The term ‘respiration’ means different things to different investigators. For some, it encompasses all of an organism’s energy use, while for others it simply refers to the sum of the processes by which oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are transferred between the environment and the tissues (Burggren & Roberts, 1991). Our understanding of respiration by invertebrates (in both senses) is underdeveloped compared with vertebrates. However, compared with other invertebrate groups, respiration is relatively well studied in the Crustacea, or at least in some, mainly larger-bodied, malacostracan crustacean species. Consequently, a number of excellent crustacean-specific works (e.g., Wolvekamp & Waterman, 1960; Huggins & Munday, 1968; Vernberg, 1983; Cameron & Mangum, 1983; McMahon & Wilkins, 1983; Forest and von Vaupel Klein, 2005; Jimenez & Kinsey, 2015) and general reviews of respiration that incorporate crustacean material (e.g., Steen, 1971; Mill, 1972; Prosser, 1991) have been published over the last 60 years.
