Decanet

DecaNet is an authoritative database dedicated to the classification and listing of both recent and fossil decapod crustaceans, encompassing an impressive 17,923 species. From familiar seaside species like crabs and shrimps to those inhabiting the deepest ocean trenches and freshwater environments, DecaNet provides a wealth of information about the diversity and habitat of decapods. The platform aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers by compiling data on original name spellings, synonyms, and pertinent literature associated with each species.

Additionally, details about habitat and distribution are included for an increasing number of taxa. The classification system is regularly updated, drawing from a network of volunteer experts and collaboration with scientific literature. With a focus on biodiversity and ongoing updates, DecaNet is not only a vast reservoir of information but is also a vital tool for researchers studying crustacean taxonomy.

The dedication to accuracy and comprehensive coverage makes DecaNet a key resource in the field of marine biology
