Howe Sound juvenile prawn, (Pandalus platyceros), survey with a review of estuaries as shrimp and prawn nursery habitats / by N.A. Sloan.: Fs97-4/1936E-PDF
"This report recounts the results of a largely shallow-water trap survey for juveniles of the protandric hermaphrodite prawn, Pandalus platyceros, in Howe Sound in August 1986. Juveniles (preadult males) formed 10% of the 2493 prawns taken in 36 sets. Catches of juveniles were patchy in sets to 60 m and mean catches were highest in the 46-60 m depth stratum. Juvenile size did not vary in a clearly depth-related pattern but the mean size of mature males was significantly smaller in the shallowest sets compared to those taken in deeper sets. These results are discussed in relation to the literature on juvenile P. platyceros habitat occupation. A short review of the role of estuaries, which include fjordic inlets, as nursery grounds for pandalid and penaeid shrimps is included"--Abstract, page iii.
