Abundance and diversity of decapod crustaceans in the deep-Catalan Sea (Western Mediterranean)
20 pages, 5 figures, 7 tables The deep-slope decapod fauna of the Catalan Sea was extensively sampled with an OTSB-14 bottom trawl. A total of 67 bottom tows were taken from 1985 to 1989 at bottom depths ranging from 552 to 2261 m. Species in which abundance decreased with depth were Plesionika acan...
