Distribution and composition of macrozoobenthic communities along a Victoria-Land transect (Ross Sea, Antarctica)
The Victoria-Land Transect Cruise with the Italian research vessel "Italica", carried out in February 2004, was the first large-scale attempt to obtain benthic samples systematically along a latitudinal transect on the Antarctic Ross Sea shelf. Data presented from this survey are based on...
