Summary
A comparison of the “EPOS” leg 3 material of Weddell Sea Isopoda with the known literature data revealed some new results for the horizontal and vertical distribution of isopods in the eastern Weddell Sea. The number of isopod species known for the Weddell Sea almost doubled to 118 species. New results on the vertical distribution of 11 isopod genera are presented.
Data presented here were collected during the European Polarstern Study (EPOS) sponsored by the European Science Foundation
