Abstract
Variations in the vertical distributions of pelagic stages of decapod crustaceans are described from five hauls taken over the Great Sole Bank in June 1983. Analyses of the results discriminated between the distributions mainly according to the time of day at which the hauls were taken, suggesting that diel variations were their most significant feature. Substantial ontogenetic variations were observed in the distributions of Processa canaliculata.
