Davie, P. J. F. and Short, J. W., 1996. Part 8. Crustaceans. Pp. 68-74, In: "Survey of the Marine Biota of the Eastern Kimberley, Western Australia"

A total of 180 species of Crustacea have been identified from collections made during the survey. Of these, 157 belonged to the Order Decapoda. This is an increase on the previously highest number of decapods collected from the Kimberley region - 151 by Davie & Short (1995). Fifty nine of the fully identified species were additional to the previous (1995) survey, and thus the faunal list from the region is considerably increased. Four species appear, on preliminary assessment, to be new to science, while additional material of several other previously discovered, but still undescribed, new species were collected.
