Decapod Crustacea of the Calanus Expeditions in Frobisher Bay, Baffin Island, 1951
About 600 specimens of decapods comprising 11 species were collected by trawl and dredge on the Calanus Shelf and by plankton net at Potter Island by the Calanus expeditions in 1951.Stations at the shallower parts of the shelf yielded the greater number of specimens of decapods, those on the outer s...
