Soft bottom sublittoral amphipod fauna of Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Antarctic
Abstract The present analysis is based on 140 quantitative samples collected from depths of 20 to 500 m in the central basin of Admiralty Bay and its inner shallow area, Ezcurra Inlet. One hundred and twenty species were identified, of which 47 species were new for Admiralty Bay. Mean density of cru...
