“…With about 3438 species (De Grave & Fransen, 2011), the Infraorder Caridea constitutes one of the most specious groups of decapod crustaceans. It contains benthic and pelagic species, some of which are known to present nektobenthic behaviour (Pequegnat & Wicksten, 2006;Follesa et al, 2013). Some families are exclusively benthic (e.g., Palaemonidae, Glyphocrangonidae), others are almost exclusively pelagic (e.g., Oplophoridae, Pasiphaeidae), and a few include species inhabiting both realms (e.g., Pandalidae) (Chace, 1986;Hendrickx & Wicksten, 1989;Poore, 2004;Wicksten, 2012).…”
