Amphionides reynaudii

Distribution of Amphionides reynaudii. In this study, larvae of A. reynaudii were found around all three island ecosystems. Also, the specimens were caught with three different gears (neuston, bongo and WP- 2 nets). Their densities and frequencies were extremely low. In the neuston net, density varied from 0.1 ind. 100 m - 3 (Epineuston FN and SPSP, Hyponeuston AR) to 33 ind. 100 m - ³ (Hyponeuston FN). The initial larval stages were found in the neuston net (Mysis II and IV) (Table I). The only exception was one Mysis X larva found off AR. The larvae were found mainly during the night, except at SPSP.
