The crab carrion-scavenging amphipod, Orchomene nanus in Lough Hyne, Co. Cork, Ireland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 December 2001
Abstract
Amphipod traps baited with crab carrion caught significantly greater numbers of the specialist crab necrophage, Orchomene nanus in the South Basin of Lough Hyne than in the North Basin. The results can be explained with reference to the known distribution of crab species in the lough and also the hydrographical characteristics of the two basins.
