NotesThis thesis studies the genetics of ghost shrimp collected off the Oregon and Washington coasts. Ghost shrimp at Yaquina Bay are included "to compare differences with the ocean-bound larvae and possibly infer a relationship to any resulting recruitment." (from the Abstract) The study did find that Yaquina Bay ghost shrimp formed "a genetically distinct group" from the oceanic population. (p.32)
