Southeast Fisheries Science Center (U.S.)

"The Rosenstiel School of the Marine and Atmospheric Science of the University of Miami conducted nine cruises from 1972 to1976 on the R/V Columbus Iselin (Table 1) to collect deep-sea fishes from the Bahamas Region, primarily those of the Tongue of the Ocean (G. L. Voss; C. R. Robins and N. A. Voss, per. comm.). In addition, sampling was conducted at various water depths in the south and southeastern waters of Florida. Together with the fishes, a large number of Dendrobranchiate (Penaeoidea and Sergestoidea) shrimps and prawns were captured which are the subject of this study. The data acquired on these cruises were taken from the vessel's log (Table 2)"--Introduction, paragraph 1
