Description
The collection of decapod crustaceans is part of the Museu Bocage collections - MB (Zoological) of the Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência, University of Lisbon. This collection started in 1984, after the fire of 1978 that destroyed practically all the zoological collections. It comprises around 4200 itens, most of them preserved in 70º ethanol. The dataset which is now published comprises decapod crustaceans collected in Portugal between 1945 and 2012, and most of them originate from research projects and donations from national and international researchers. ___________________________________________________________________________ A colecção de crustáceos decápodes faz parte das Colecções Museu Bocage – MB (Zoológicas) do Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência, Universidade de Lisboa.
