Population characteristics of four deep-water pandalid shrimps (Decapoda : Caridea) in the northern Aegean Sea (NE Mediterranean)
The population characteristics of four deep-water pandalid shrimps (Decapoda: Caridea) were studied in the northern Aegean Sea in samples collected annually (1997-2000) in summer, through experimental trawl, at depths down to 600m. Females were larger than males in Plesionika martia and Plesionika h...
