Only a few of the many decapoda species existing in the world are found in the Southern Ocean. This dataset describes all of those eleven species, hence the dataset can be classed as complete. Short descriptions, figures and records of occurrence are presented for each of the eleven Antarctic species. The information presented in temporal and spatial coverage is approximate only. This dataset is a document describing the Decapoda of the Southern Ocean. It lists all the known species and with illustrated diagrams provides a guide to their taxonomic identification.
