Illustrated guide for the identification of the euphausids (Crustacea: Malacostraca) collected in Cuba
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The Euphaussian crustaceans constitute a group of 86 species known as krill that in general present a very wide distribution in all oceans, from surface waters to the great marine abysses. Of them 34 have been cited for the waters that surround the Cuban archipelago. However, they are unknown in Cuba. This guide allows to determine the eight species that have been collected to date, with the consultation of the original illustrated keys that are offered.
