Extract

The ostracods have been analysed from a day and night series of horizontal tows taken near the Island of Fuerteventura (Canaries). Thirty-five species were identified. Nineteen species were sampled in large enough numbers to describe their depthe distributions and the ranges of their vertical migrations. Seven species were too small to have been adequately sampled by the methods used, and the remaining nine species were too rare to draw any firm conclusions as to their depth ranges.
