Description
This dataset contains counts of Mysidacea (determined at genus level) from two samples from Gazi Bay (October 1994), 1 at Uroa Beach (July 1996) and two at Ambon (April 1996) using a hyperbenthic sledge (0.5m high, mesh width 0.5mm) or hand net. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Poppe, B. (1997). Taxonomische studie van enkele tropische Mysidacea = Taxonomic study of some tropical Mysidacea. Thesis. Universiteit Gent: Ghent. 19 pp.
