| Abstract |
The geographical distributions and seasonal cycles of pelagic larvae and post-larval stages of decapod Crustacea in the north-eastern Atlantic and the North Sea during 1981-3 are described from samples taken with the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR). Analyses of the distributions of 36 common taxa identified groupings which could be related to depth and temperature. The seasonal occurrences of planktonic larvae of benthic taxa were found to be correlated with sea-bottom temperature in the winter as well as parameters of the sea-surface temperature. Possible interpretations of these data are discussed. |
