IX Preface The Colloquia Crustacea Decapoda Mediterranea are devoted to decapod crustacean research, and organized on a 3-yearly basis by institutions of the Mediterranean geographical area. The scope of these meetings has progressively widened throughout the sequence of events, and presently welcomes contributions from crustacean research worldwide. The seventh Colloquium was held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 6 to 9 September 1999, at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. The Scientific Committee of 7CCDM was composed of C. Alma~a (Portugal), K. Anger (Germany), D. Calazans (Brazil), G. Charmantier (France), P. Clark (UK), P. Dworschak (Austria), W. Emmerson (South Africa), D. Felder (USA), R. Forward Jr (USA), C. Fransen (Netherlands), C. Froglia (Italy), R. Hartnoll (UK), R. Ingle (UK), D. Jones (UK), A. Koukouras (Greece), R. Manning (USA), P. Ng (UK), P. Noel (France), J. Paula (Portugal), H. Queiroga (Portugal), F. Sarda (Spain), F. Schram (Netherlands), R. Seridji (Algeria), E. Spanier (Israel), Z. Stevcic (Croatia), M. Turkay (Germany) and M. Vannini (Italy). The Organizing Committee was based at the Marine Lab of Guia, University of Lisbon, Portugal, and was composed of C. Alma~a, C. Bartilotti, R. Calado, A. Cartaxana, J. Cruz, M. Dornelas, T. Dray, A. Flores, 0. Luis, A. Mar~al, S. Morais, L. Narciso, R. Nogueira Mendes, A. M. Passos, J. Paula, 0. Santos, J. Saraiva, A. Sousa Dias and Z. Stevcic. During the event 12 plenary talks, 82 regular oral presentations, 101 poster presentations and 1 seminar were presented. The meeting hosted the 2nd Crustacean Larval Conference, and had a number of dedicated sessions, as the Mangrove Crustacea and the Thalassinid sessions. Within this publication papers from all sessions were invited, except for those presented for the larval conference which are published elsewhere. We thank the Portuguese sponsors who generously provided financial support for the Colloquium organization and publication of these proceedings: Instituto do Mar - Laborat6rio Marftimo da Guia, Faculdade de Ciencias da Universidade de Lisboa, Fundac;ao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia, Funda~ao Luso-Americana para o Desenvolvimento and the Secretaria de Estado do Ambiente. A debt of gratitude is owed to Hydrobiologia (Kluwer Academic Publishers) and the Editor-in-Chief, Professor H. Dumont, for publishing the Proceedings as a special volume in the series Developments in Hydrobiology. We would like to thank all members ofthe Organizing Committee and the many students and technicians involved in the organization of the meeting. In particular we thank the facilities provided in the University of Lisbon by Prof. C. Alma~a at the Department of Zoology and Anthropology, Prof. F. Catarino at the Botanical Garden, and Prof. J. Pinto Paixao at the Faculty of Sciences. JOSE PAULA AUGUSTO FLORES CHARLES FRANSEN (guest editors, on behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committees of the 7CCDM)
