ISSN: 1502-4873 Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species Jussi Evertsen1 and Torkild Bakken1 Evertsen J, Bakken T. 2013. Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species. Fauna norvegica 32: 45-52. A total of 5 nudibranch species are reported from the Norwegian coast for the first time (Doridoxa ingolfiana, Goniodoris castanea, Onchidoris sparsa, Eubranchus rupium and Proctonotus mucro- niferus). In addition 10 species that can be considered rare in Norwegian waters are presented with new information (Lophodoris danielsseni, Onchidoris depressa, Palio nothus, Tritonia griegi, Tritonia lineata, Hero formosa, Janolus cristatus, Cumanotus beaumonti, Berghia norvegica and Calma glau- coides), in some cases with considerable changes to their distribution. These new results present an update to our previous extensive investigation of the nudibranch fauna of the Norwegian coast from 2005, which now totals 87 species. An increase in several new species to the Norwegian fauna and new records of rare species, some with considerable updates, in relatively few years results mainly from sampling effort and contributions by specialists on samples from poorly sampled areas. doi: 10.5324/fn.v31i0.1576.

Constant commercial fishing for groundfish has occurred since the 1960s. The implementation of areas closed to bottom trawling to protect critical habitat for fish or crabs resulted in successful management of these fisheries. The efficacy of these closures on non-target species is unknown. This study determined if differences in abundance, biomass, diversity and evenness of dominant fish and invertebrate species occur among areas open and closed to bottom trawling in the eastern Bering Sea between 1996 and 2000.

Datés de 10,4 à 9,6 ka BP (Bernatchez et al., 1999), ils ont été formés lors de la submersion par la mer de Goldthwait. Une étude détaillée des invertébrés marins composant un de ces dépôts ainsi que des analyses isotopiques (δ18O, δ13C) et géochimiques effectuées sur des coquilles de Mytilus edulis ont permis de décrire l’habitat dans lequel les invertébrés de ce dépôt ont vécu. La communauté marine identifiée et les compositions δ18O ont démontré que les espèces du dépôt ont vécu dans un milieu marin assez stable, froid, peu profond et de salinité supérieure à 20 ‰. Les compositions δ18O ont aussi démontré que la température moyenne annuelle de l’eau dans la mer de Goldthwait était environ 6 °C plus froide que celle de l’eau de l’estuaire maritime du Saint-Laurent moderne.

Despite the plethora of studies, geographic patterns of diversity in deep sea remain subject of speculation. This study considers a large dataset to examine the faunal change and depth-diversity gradient of prosobranch molluscs in the Porcupine Seabight and adjacent Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic). Rates of species succession (addition and loss) increased rapidly with increasing depth and indicated four possible areas of faunal turnover at about 700, 1600, 2800 and 4100 m. Depth was a significant predictor of diversity, explaining nearly a quarter the variance. There was a pattern of decreasing diversity downslope from 250 m to 1500–1600 m, followed by an increase to high values at about 4000 m and then again, a fall to 4915 m. Processes causing diversity patterns of prosobranchs in the Porcupine Seabight and adjacent Abyssal Plain are likely to differ in magnitude or type, from those operating in other Atlantic areas. Introduction An increasing focus for biodiversity research in the deep sea has been to test for the existence of large-scale gradients in the diversity of marine soft- sediment fauna in deep sea (e.g.

Main aim of this compilation is to give interested non-professionals better access to and understanding of sea shells and squids. As often long-lived and relatively stationary species, molluscs can provide a key function as water quality indicators. The taxonomic classifi cation was based on the Mollusca databases CLEMAM and ERMS (MARBEF). The list includes 309 species. > Kurzfassung Eine Liste deutscher Namen der marinen und Brackwasser-Mollusken der deutschen Küstengewässer und der Ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone (AWZ) der Nord- und Ostsee wurde erstellt.
