In situ observations of feedingbehavior of thecosome pteropod molluscs
Recent in situ observations of thecosome pteropods were made during five cruises in tropical, temperate, and arctic waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, and during one astral summer season in Antarctic waters. The long quiescent periods employed by thecosomes to fish their mucous feeding webs and the...
