Description
Summary:Data on the distribution and abundance of the Atlantic mud shrimp, Solenocera membranacea in the northern and central Adriatic Sea were collected by bottom trawl during 11 cruises of the "Pipeta" Expedition in the Adriatic Sea from 1985 to 1994. The expedition sampled approximately 59,000 km² of the continental shelf at predetermined permanent stations over different sediment types at depths of 10 to 430 m. The shrimp were found in depths of 55 to 289 m. The highest mean abundance was observed in the 50 to 100 m depth layer and from "relict" sand (sediment settled during the last glacial, and that was resedimented during the Holocene transgression) and clayey "relict" sand sediments. /// Des données sur la distribution et l'abondance de la crevette atlantique des fonds vaseux, Solenocera membranacea dans les zones nord et centrale de la mer Adriatique ont été collectées par chalutage au cours de 11 croisières de l'expédition "Pipeta" dans la mer Adriatique de 1985 à 1994. L'expédition a échantillonné approximativement 59.000 km² du plateau continental à des stations pré-déteminées sur différents types de sédiments, à des profondeurs de 10 à 430 m. Les crevettes ont été trouvées à des profondeurs de 55 à 289 m. L'abondance la plus élevée a été observée à des profondeurs de 50 à 100 m et sur des fonds de sable "reliques" (sédiments déposés durant la dernière glaciation et re-sédimentés durant la transgression holocène) et de sables argileux sédimenteux "reliques".
