NOAA Technical Report NMFS 140 



Several published indexes and bibliographies include 

 many references to the general literature pertaining to 

 benthic invertebrates and allied subjects. Many of the 

 historical as well as the modern reports are included 

 among the citations in these bibliographies.

Another result of increased OCS activity is the large 

 volume of information relating to benthic fauna ap- 

 pearing in the so-called "gray" literature. Included in 

 this category are completion reports of field study con- 

 tracts, environmental impact statements, public and pri- 

 vate agency investigation reports, annual reports, and other 

 similar special documents. Many appear in irregular se- 

 ries, or are one-of-a-kind reports, often in photocopied or 

 mimeographed form and, as such, are not always listed in 

 the usual literature sources (e.g. Maurer. 1983; Michael 

 et. al., 1983; Pratt, 1973; also see Literature Cited). 



In addition to Wigley and Theroux (1981) there are 

 several taxonomically or ecologically oriented reports 

 based wholly or in part on the samples forming the 

 basis of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFC) 

 benthic database. Such reports include Wigley (1960a,
