RESULTS OF UNDERWATER OBSERVERS AFTER A DEEP-WATER LOBSTER, NEPHROPIDES CARIBAEUS (DECAPODA, NEPHROPIDAE) FROM SOUTH-WEST ATLANTIC
Keywords:
lobster, Nephropides caribaeus, south-west Atlantic, underwater observersAbstract
A deep-water lobster (Nephropides caribaeus Manning, 1969) is known as endemic of Caribbean region. Analysis of results of underwater observers of submersible “Sever-2” (1988 – 1989, continental slope of South America, bank Bervud and South Georgia Isl. considerably extends the overview of biology of this species. This lobster is abundant in the range of depths from 510 to 1250 m and meets considerably southward (to 53°S) and eastward (to 35°W), than considered before. Lobsters prefer salty-sandy soils, where they form agglomerations which can be examined as commercial (biomass to 15000 t).
