| Summary: | The decapod fauna of Ungava Bay (17 species, 3,000 specimens collected) is shown to be similar to that of the shallow water areas of West Greenland. Four species are reported for the first time from Ungava Bay: Sergestes arcticus and Pasiphaea tarda, ordinarily from deeper and warmer water, and Eualus macilentus and Sabinea septemcarinata. Systematics of each species is treated under occurrence, world distribution and taxonomy. Lengths of most species of shrimp showed that a greater size was reached in females than in males. Maturities with respect to size when first mature, egg size and times of hatching and spawning are discussed.
