Proximate and elemental composition and energy content of mesopelagic crustaceans from the Eastern Gulf of Mexico

The proximate and elemental chemical compositions of 25 species of pelagic decapod and mysid crustaceans collected from the eastern Gulf of Mexico were examined. Three deep-living species of the genus Acanthephyra were found to be compositionally atypical, resembling shallow, migrating types rather...

Description
Summary:The proximate and elemental chemical compositions of 25 species of pelagic decapod and mysid crustaceans collected from the eastern Gulf of Mexico were examined. Three deep-living species of the genus Acanthephyra were found to be compositionally atypical, resembling shallow, migrating types rather than other deep-living, non-migratory species.
