INTRODUCTION Both wild and cultured crustaceans are a valuable resource globally, making up 23% of the value of the global trade of aquatic animal products in 2022 (FAO, 2024). Consumption of crustaceans has increased between 1961 and 2022, compared to a decrease in finfish (FAO, 2024), and the health of these animals is important for continued sustainable exploitation, as demand for these organisms continues to grow (Boenish et al., 2022; Stentiford et al., 2012).
