Queensland has the highest diversity of marine and terrestrial crustaceans in Australia, largely due to the rich diversity of habitats in these tropical and subtropical climates. Crustacean collection strengths include: - holdings of almost all Australian decapod species (crabs, shrimps, lobsters and their relatives); - one of the most comprehensive collections of Indo-West Pacific mangrove and shore crabs in the world; - significant holdings of isopods; - approximately 17,000 specimens from Great Barrier Reef Seabed Biodiversity Project 2003-2006.
