Preface
This book contains a collection of papers dealing with various aspects of the biology and aquaculture
of the 'true phyllopods' as envisioned by Sars (1890). Today these members of the class Branchiopoda
are grouped into four orders by Fryer (1987). They are the Anostraca, the Notostraca, and the two
conchostracan orders Spinicaudata and Laevicaudata. The majority of the included papers were
presented at the Euphyllopod Symposium convened at the State University of Ghent in Ghent, Belgium
9-12 August 1989. In addition, other relevant manuscripts that came to the attention of the editors during
the peer review and manuscript improvement process are included.
The 1989 Euphyllopod Symposium in Ghent was the fIrst international meeting ever devoted
exclusively to the large branchiopod crustaceans. It was conceived and made a reality by the hard work
of Prof. Dr Henri Dumont. Researchers with an interest in phyllopods from Australia, Belgium, Brazil,
France, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, United States of America, and Yugoslavia
enjoyed a highly productive, exciting, and stimulating four days. Since there were no concurrent sessions,
all attendees had an opportunity to hear each paper and join in the discussions. It was the delegate's
unanimous hope that other international euphyllopod symposia be held in the future.
The Euphyllopd Symposium participants extend their special thanks to Henri Dumont for bringing us
together. We also recognize the importance of Christine De Walsche's work as Symposium Secretary
and offer her our sincere appreciation. We thank the State University of Ghent for use of university
facilities and especially for the very economical living accommodation provided to visiting delegates. We
thank the Institute of Ecology and Zoogeography for hosting the symposium. We are very appreciative
of the fInancial support provided by the Belgian National Science Fund and by the Ministry of the Flemish
community, Department of Higher Education and Research. This support was vital. We thank Kluwer
Academic Publishers for agreeing to publish the proceedings of our meeting in the Developments in
Hydrobiology series.
