Bowman, Thomas E., Anne C. Cohen, and Maura McManus McGuiness. Vertical Distribution of Themisto gaudichaudii (Amphipoda: Hyperiidea) in Deepwater Dumpsite 106 off the Mouth of Delaware Bay. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 351, 24 pages, 16 figures, 1982.— Themisto gaudichaudii, a bipolar hyperiid amphipod, was collected in discrete-depth samples taken between the surface and 1800 m in a warm core eddy as it passed through Deepwater Dumpsite 106, a site off the mouth of Delaware Bay where industrial wastes are dumped in the Atlantic Ocean. The species was most abundant in the upper strata (1-125 m) but was found in all depth intervals sampled during the day (1-25 to 1425-1800 m) and at night in depth intervals from 1-25 to 700-800 m. Night catches exceeded day catches, probably because of greater net avoidance during the day. The data do not show whether or not vertical migration occurred, probably because sampling did not partition finely enough the upper layers, where previous studies have shown that diel vertical migrations of Themisto occur. Abundance was greater in the warmest, shallow, central part of the eddy than in the deeper and peripheral parts of the eddy. OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year.
