Distribution, reproductive and energetic conditions of decapod crustaceans along the Scotia Arc (Southern Ocean)
Studies on decapod distribution patterns and reproductive and energetic conditions were carried out along the islands and shallows of the Scotia Arc (Southern Ocean) during the RV ¿Polarstern¿ LAMPOS expedition (ANT XIX/5) between April and May 2002. A clear biogeographic zonation was found. The Sub...
