Distributional notes of Harpacticoida (Crustacea: Copepoda) collected from the Beaufort Sea (Arctic Ocean)
Forty-one species of large-size Harpacticoida have been sorted from Smith-McIntyre grab samples sieved through 1.00 and 0.2 mm aperture screens. Fifty-eight stations were occupied throughout the southwestern Beaufort Sea, ranging from Point Barrow, Alaska (USA) west, to Demarcation Point, the easter...
