Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a checklist of benthic invertebrate species, collected by king crab biologists during the summers of 1958 and 1959 in the eastern Bering Sea. The study's primary aim was to identify invertebrate food organisms of the commercially important king crab, Paralithodes camtschatica. Surveys were conducted at 20 to mile intervals, with the majority of the invertebrate catch being taken by otter trawl with the occasional use of a dredge for deeper samples. The author presents a list of species of pelecypods, gastropods (exclusive of nudibranchs), barnacles, decapod crustaceans, tunicates, and the majority of echinoderms found on the Continental Shelf of the eastern Bering Sea during these surveys. These species represent a range of taxa and depth distributions. The author compares species distribution and relative abundance, and discusses their relationship to the king crab. Overall, this book provides valuable baseline data on the diversity and distribution of benthic invertebrates in the eastern Bering Sea, contributing to our understanding of the region's marine ecosystem and trophic relationships. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
