Growth and Reproduction Data of Plesionika Narval (Decapoda, Caridea, Pandalidae) Off the Island of Ustica (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)
Abstract We here report some data on the biology and population structure of Plesionika narval (Fabricius, 1787) captured along the coast of the island of Ustica in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. Specimens were collected monthly from January to October 2000 using commercial traps at depths ranging fro...
