Description
Summary:Our knowledge of the Euphausiacea of the western area of the North Atlantic dates back to the time of Ortmann (1893) who recorded a number of species from this area. Hansen (1915) has given a great many records of the Euphausiacea from the western Atlantic, mainly in the northwestern part. Colosi (1917) has added a few records from the Caribbean sea, Bigelow (1926) records a number of species from the offshore waters of the Gulf of Maine, of which a few are Euphausid species that also occur in the Florida straits area. A list of the species occurring from Chesapeake Bay to the northern end of the Bahama Bank has been recorded by Tattersall (1986).
