The biomass of this whelk increased with increasing latitude; it was most evident in the southeastern Chukchi Sea, where it made up percent of the total epifaunal biomass with an average biomass of g/m^. Neptunea heros had a mean density of in the southeastern. Figure 65-5. Benthic trawl stations occupied in the south- eastern Chukchi Sea, 1976. Figure 65-6.
