Alternatively, the Service should list the black teatfish as threatened or endangered throughout a significant portion of its range. This species is found exclusively in foreign waters, thus 30‐days’ notice to affected U.S. states and/or territories was not required. The Center is a non‐profit, public interest environmental organization dedicated to the protection of native species and their habitats. -

KOSTINA Institute of Marine Biology, Academy of Sciences of Russia, Vladivostok 690041, Russia Abstract A description of the intertidal biota of volcanic Yankich Island (Ushishir Islands, Kuril Islands) is given. The species composition and vertical distribution pattern of the intertidal communities at various localities are described in relation to environmental factors, such as nature of the substrate, surf conditions and volcanic vent water. The macrobenthos is poor in the areas directly influenced by high tempera ture (20-40°C) and high sulphur content. There are no marked changes in the intertidal communities in the areas of volcanic springs that are characterised by temperature below 10°C and by the absence of sulphur compounds. In general, the species composi tion and distribution of the intertidal biota are ordinary for the intertidal zone of the middle Kuril Islands. But there are departures from the typical zonation of the intertidal biota. Also, mass populations of Balanus crenatus appear. -

(Eds.) Echinoderm Research 2010: Proceedings of the Seventh European Conference on Echinoderms, Göttingen, Germany, 2–9 October 2010. Zoosymposia, 7, xii + 316 pp. Abstract The ability to swim was recorded in 17 of 32 species of deep-sea holothurians during the RRS James Cook ECOMAR cruise in 2010 to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Holothurians were observed, photographed, and video recorded using the ROV Isis at four sites around the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone at approximate depths of 2,200–2,800 m. For eleven species swimming is reported for the first time. A number of swimming species were observed on rocks, cliffs and steep slopes with taluses. These habitats are unusual for deep-sea holothurians, which are traditionally common on flat areas with soft sediment rich in detritus. Three species were found exclusively on cliffs. Swimming may provide an advantage in cliff habitats that are inaccessible to most epibenthic deposit-feeders. Key words: sea cucumbers, benthopelagic species, diversity, Northern Atlantic Ocean Introduction Mid-ocean ridges remain one of the least studied environments in the ocean. They are characterised by remoteness, high relief, very complicated topography and complex current regimes. -

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF SCIENCE SCHOOL OF OCEAN AND EARTH SCIENCE Doctor of Philosophy Systematics and Phylogeny of the Holothurian Family Synallactidae By Francisco Alonso Solís-Marín The sea cucumbers of the family Synallactidae (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) are mostly restricted to the deep sea. They comprise of approximately 131 species, about one-third of all known deep-sea holothurian species. Many species are morphologically similar, making their identification and classification difficult. The aim of this study is to present the phylogeny of the family Synallactidae based on DNA sequences of the mitochondrial large subunit rRNA (16S), cytochrome oxidase I (COI) genes and morphological taxonomy characters. In order to examine type specimens, corroborate distributional data and collect muscles tissues for the DNA analyses, 7 institutions that hold holothurian specimens were visited. For each synallactid species, selected synonymy, primary diagnosis, location of type material, type locality, distributional data (geographical and bathymetrical) and extra biological information were extracted from the primary references. -

Wilson1, J. Zhang3,15 and N. J. Bax2,16 Abstract Background: Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last 150 years. In May–June 2017, the IN2017_V03 expedition of the RV Investigator sampled LBA benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania (42°S) to the Coral Sea (23°S), with particular emphasis on describing and analysing patterns of biodiversity that occur within a newly declared network of offshore marine parks. Methods: The study design was to deploy a 4 m (metal) beam trawl and Brenke sled to collect samples on soft sediment substrata at the target seafloor depths of 2500 and 4000 m at every 1.5 degrees of latitude along the western boundary of the Tasman Sea from 42° to 23°S, traversing seven Australian Marine Parks. -

It is distinguished from its congeners in having: four or five paired papillae and unpaired papillae present along entire dorsal radii (four to seven papillae on each radius), with wide separation between second and third paired papillae; maximum length of Elpidia-type ossicles in dorsal body wall exceeds 1000 µm; axis diameter of dorsal Elpidia-type ossicles less than 40 µm; tentacle Elpidia-type ossicles with arched axis and shortened, occasionally completely reduced arms and apophyses. Purple pigmentation spots composed of small purple particles on both dorsal and ventral body wall. This is the second species of Elpidia Théel, 1876 from Japanese abyssal depths. The diagnosis of the genus Elpidia is modified to distin- guish from all other elpidiid genera. -
