Decapod Crustacea of North East Cay, Herald Cays, Coral Sea

The Royal Geographical Society of Queensland Inc.:75-86.

North East Cay, Herald Cays, Coral Sea was surveyed for decapod crustaceans. 125 species were recorded plus some incidental collections of other crustacean groups. Of the decapods, nine species appear to be as yet undescribed, and 16 are newly recorded for Australian territorial waters. The species present have predominantly wide-ranging Indo-West Pacific distributions. Notes on abundance and habitat preference are provided.
