Hyalinoecia (but not with respect to bait stations). Hessler et al.

Scavenging amphipods from the floor of the Philippine Trench. Deep-Sea

>I'm looking for the publications of John Dove Isaacs on his 'monster

>>As far as I can see there are none of his own apart from two popular

>>I'm also looking for any photos or records, published or unpublished of
