The Vertical Distribution of Pelagic Decapods [Crustacea: Natantia] Collected on the Sond Cruise 1965 II. The Penaeidea and General Discussion

This paper represents the second and final part of a study of the depth distribution and diurnal migration of pelagic decapod crustaceans in an area of the eastern North Atlantic. Part I (Foxton, 1970) dealt with the Caridea; Part II now considers the Penaeidea. In the discussion the data as a whole...

Description
Summary:This paper represents the second and final part of a study of the depth distribution and diurnal migration of pelagic decapod crustaceans in an area of the eastern North Atlantic. Part I (Foxton, 1970) dealt with the Caridea; Part II now considers the Penaeidea. In the discussion the data as a whole are analysed and the resulting patterns of vertical distribution and migration discussed.
