Expanathuridae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Isopoda. [1]
Genera: [1]
Penaeidae is a family of marine crustaceans in the suborder Dendrobranchiata, which are often referred to as penaeid shrimp or penaeid prawns. The Penaeidae contain many species of economic importance, such as the tiger prawn, whiteleg shrimp, Atlantic white shrimp, and Indian prawn. Many prawns are the subject of commercial fishery, and farming, both in marine settings, and in freshwater farms. Lateral line–like sense organs on the antennae have been reported in some species of Penaeidae. At 210 metres per second (760 km/h), the myelinated giant interneurons of pelagic penaeid shrimp have the world record for impulse conduction speed in any animal.
Barbados competed in the Summer Olympic Games for the first time at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Mexico. Nine competitors, all men, took part in ten events in five sports.
Barbados competed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. 13 competitors, 8 men and 5 women, took part in 13 events in 4 sports.
Sphaeromatidae is a family of isopods, often encountered on rocky shores and in shelf waters in temperate zones. The family includes almost 100 genera and 619 known marine species. Within these genera, there are groups that share distinctive morphologies; further research may reclassify these genus-groups as separate families.
Curassanthura is a genus of isopod crustaceans in the family Leptanthuridae. It contains the following species:
Axiidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the infraorder Axiidea, within the order Decapoda.
Eiconaxius is a genus of mud lobster that includes the following species:

Raymond Brendan Manning was an American carcinologist, specialising in alpha taxonomy and mantis shrimp.
Thomas Elliot Bowman III was an American carcinologist best known for his studies of isopods and copepods.
The Leptanthuridae are a family of isopod crustaceans, containing the following genera:
Cymothoida is the name of a suborder of isopod crustaceans with a mostly carnivorous or parasitic lifestyle. It contains more than 2,700 described species in four superfamilies. Members of the suborder are characterised by their specialised mouthparts which include a mandible with a tooth-like process which is adapted for cutting or slicing.
Macropodia is a genus of crabs, belonging to the family Inachidae. It contains the following species:
The Bopyridae are a family of isopod crustaceans in the suborder Cymothoida. There are 1223 individual species contained in this family. Members of the family are ectoparasites of crabs and shrimp. They live in the gill cavities or under the carapace where they cause a noticeable swelling. Fossil crustaceans have occasionally been observed to have a similar characteristic bulge.
The Arcturidae are a family of marine isopod crustaceans in the suborder Valvifera. Members of the family resemble woodlice and are found globally in cooler areas in shallow seas.
Uromunna is a genus of isopod crustaceans.
Cirolana is a genus of isopod crustaceans.
