Description
This dataset is from a paper by Fenner a. Chace, Jr. (1955) on the shrimps of the Marshall Islands.
The collections on which the following notes are based were made during biological surveys of the northern Marshall Atolls of Eniwetok, Bikini, Rongelap, and Rongerik in 1946 and 1947, under the sponsorship of the U. S. Department of the Navy. Only the decapod shrimps of the families Penaeidae, Sergestidae, Pasiphaeidae, Processidae, Thalassocaridae, and the genera Automate and Athanas of the Alpheidae are included here.
