Description
Summary:ISSN 0870-6581. A trial fisheiy with benthic traps set around 6 islands in the Azores archipelago at depths from 18 to 864 m. caught 4 species of pandalid shrimps: Plesionika narval (Fabricius, 1787), P. edwardsii (Brandt, 1851), P. martia (AMilne Edwards, 1883) and P. gigliolii (Senna,1903). Of these, the latter three had not been recorded previously from the Azores. Two hippolytid species were also captured, Ligur ensiferus (Risso, 1816) a new record, and a new species of Lysmata, described by FRANSEN (1991). The most abundant species was P. narval followed by P.edwardsii. Length frequency distributions for P. narval, P. edwardsii and Ligur ensiferus are given, " as well as length/weight relationships.
