Thirteen species belonging to five genera of pelagic amphipods of the family Lestrigonidae were collected during a deep-water survey off western Mexico: four species of Hyperietta, two species of Hyperioides, five species of Lestrigonus, and one species

The variability of hyperiid amphipod assemblages was analyzed based on seasonal (dry vs. wet) and spatial differences (neritic vs. oceanic) in the Panama Bight. Four oceanographic cruises were carried out during 2007–2008, two during the dry season (Feb.

Significant seasonal variations in surface circulation are driven by the East Asian Monsoon in the South China Sea (SCS). Seasonal variations in copepod and hyperiid communities following the monsoon have been reported. The mechanisms controlling these
