Included here are species accounts for all of the amphipods except the hyperiid family Scinidae. The specimens discussed here represent 35 species belonging to 12 families of gammarid and hyperiid amphipods. Data and remarks on the systematics, vertical distribution and migration, and reproductive activities are presented, together with geographic distributions.

This information is precisely what is required for an animal to eliminate its ventral shadow by the production of a ventral bioluminescent glow. This arrangement, therefore, offers strong support for the theory of ventral countershading in mid-water animals.
