dc.description.abstract |
Although decapod crustaceans (crabs, hermit crabs, shrimp, and related groups) are among
the largest and most familiar invertebrates of southern California, little is known of their
distribution according to depth and substrate except in the littoral zone. Many species are
known only from isolated collections taken over a span of decades.
During the extensive sampling program from 1975 through 1977 of the "Southern California
Baseline Studies and Analysis: Benthic Macrofauna," 80 species of decapods were taken.
Examination of the records of these species provided considerable information on their
distribution. Recent cataloguing of specimens in the collections of the Allan Hancock Foundation
has enabled comparison of these records with those of specimens taken since 1913 off
southern California. |
