Abstract
This data report fulfils two functions. It (1) gives station data
for 1022 midwater trawl collections made in the Atlantic Ocean between
1961 and 1974 by the writers and their colleagues (Table 1, Figure 1,
and Appendix 1) and for 531 Atlantic neuston collections made between
1964 and 1974 (Table 2 and Appendix 2), and (2) gives the geographic
coordinates for a set of boundaries that divides the Atlantic Ocean
between the arctic-subarctic boundary and the subtropical convergence
at 40°S into a system of faunal regions and provinces (Figure 2 and
Appendix 3). The derivation of these boundaries is explained briefly.
