INTRODUCTION 5 The information on the biology of the bathyal zone (the slope of the continental margin) in the Gulf of Alaska and the Aleutian trench presented in this collection waa obtained in the spring of 1969 during the 45th biological cruise of the Scientific Ship f4Vityazl". The activities of that cruise were subordinated to a single purpose -n- the study of the composition, distribution, quantitative abundance and trophic zonation of the fauna along the continental slope of the Gulf of Alaska and the Aleutian trench. rhese studies were a continuation of the bio- logical investigations of the bathyal zone of the Pacific Ocean started with the 39th cruise of the ttVityaz "p over the Kuril-Kamchatka trench. Academician L. A. Zenkevich, who directed this cruise, believed that the time had come to start regular studies of the biology of the continental [margin] slope which has thus far been very little studied and un- deservedly forgotten (Zenkevich, infra). At the same time, judging from data obtained by the 'TVityazi" in the Kuril-Kamchatka trench, the con- tinental slope of the Pacific Ocean, especially in its eutrophic zone, is a highly productive region where all preconditions exist for the abundant development of plankton and benthos as well as bathypelagic and benthonic fishes. 3 he Gulf of Alaska was chosen for the study of the bathyal zone not only because it is an open gulf of the Pacific Ocean that is covenient and easily accessible to investigation, but mainly because all vertical geomorphological zones in it are fairly well developed and inhabited by a rich oceanic fauna. This is well-nigh the only area in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean where an open and deep bay is surrounded by extensive land areas rather than island chains, so that its waters are subjected to the strong influence of the continental runoff. Therefore, biological zonation in this area is bound to be fairly complete, providing a base for the study of the distribution of biogeocenoses and trophic groupings in all their variety. Here we are indeed dealing with a well-inhabited littoral and a sublittoral zone rich in life which gradually goes over into a gently inclined, well-developed continental slope. In some places (in the upper part) it is cut by submarine canyons, but on the whole it descends gradually into the abyssal part of the open bay, known by the name of "Alaska Mountain Province." Because of the abundant life in the coastal zone of the Gulf of Alaska there are widespread terrigenous greenish-gray sediments with high contents of chlorophyll and organic matter. It is into this area, the bathyal zone, that the detritus from the upper water layers of the gulf and its coastal zone is being carried. Partly it is consumed by the fauna existing there, and partly it accumulates at the foot of the slope. Before the studies of the "Vityazt" the Gulf of Alaska had been studied very unevenly. The biology of the shelf area, studied by the field parties of , VNIRO-TINRO (All-Union Scientific-Research Institute for Sea Fisheries and Oceanography-Pacific Scientific-Research Institute for Fisheries and Oceanography) is known in somewhat greater detail, but as regards the greater depths (the slope), their geology and relief have been well studied, while their 6 biology is known only in bits and pieces. Early investigations of the "Vityazi" (Cruise 29) dealt only with the abyssal zone at the exit from the gulf, and a few stations were occupied near the Canadian coast. Thus the bathyal zone of the gulf remained practically un- studied. At the same time, the shelf zone of the gulf and the uppermost part of the slope have long served as fishing grounds for a number of benthenic and bathypelagic fishes, which are abundant here and possess a good food base. This mas confirmed not only by underwater photographs made during Cruise 45 but also from catches of the Large Refrigerated Fishing Trawler ("BMRT") tt Ekvator," mhich operated in the same area. As has been pointed out by P. A. Moiseyev, "there can be no doubt that the first steps in understanding the greath depths of the slope will lead to the commercial exploitation of new resources of the Pacific Ocean perch . of the Gulf of Alaska, which are at presently not being used at all." * Cruise 45 of the "Vityaz , " began on 23 April 1969. Passing through the Sangar or Tsugaru Strait into the Pacific Ocean, the ship set its course toward the central part of the Aleutian trench, where it mus to begin its first activities. However, because of a continuous storm the "Vityazt" was forced to enter into the Gulf of Alaska, having with some * P. A. Moiseyev, "Some results from the investigattons of the Bering Sea fisheries-research expedition." Publ. of VNIRO, vol. 53/ 1964, p. 24. difficulty occupied only one deep—sea station -- No. 6085 -- on the Aleutian trench (Fig. 1). The activities in the gulf were carried out along four profiles running at right angles to the coast. Stations were established over depths of 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 meters from the sublittoral to the abyssal zone. The length of the profiles mus 100-150 miles. AT each station we carried out a full range of observations, both biological and auxiliary (in order to define the habitats), including underwater photographs and observations mith the bottom bathometer.(Fig. 2). The first profile (counting from the west) starting fram Kodiak Island covered depths from 200 to 4,500 meters (stations 6089-97). At a depth of about 1,500 m the catch of the Sigsby trawls frequently contained various fishes, including large grenadiers (up to 90 an). The second profile from Yakutat (Bering) Bay with a length of about 140 miles (stations 6098-6107) covered depths from 180 to 3,750 m.

    A Review of Southern Ocean Squids Using Nets and Beaks

    Marine Biodiversity (2020) 50:98 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12526-020-01113-4 REVIEW A review of Southern Ocean squids using nets and beaks Yves Cherel1 Received: 31 May 2020 /Revised: 31 August 2020 /Accepted: 3 September 2020 # Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung 2020 Abstract This review presents an innovative approach to investigate the teuthofauna from the Southern Ocean by combining two com- plementary data sets, the literature on cephalopod taxonomy and biogeography, together with predator dietary investigations. Sixty squids were recorded south of the Subtropical Front, including one circumpolar Antarctic (Psychroteuthis glacialis Thiele, 1920), 13 circumpolar Southern Ocean, 20 circumpolar subantarctic, eight regional subantarctic, and 12 occasional subantarctic species. A critical evaluation removed five species from the list, and one species has an unknown taxonomic status. The 42 Southern Ocean squids belong to three large taxonomic units, bathyteuthoids (n = 1 species), myopsids (n =1),andoegopsids (n = 40). A high level of endemism (21 species, 50%, all oegopsids) characterizes the Southern Ocean teuthofauna. Seventeen families of oegopsids are represented, with three dominating families, onychoteuthids (seven species, five endemics), ommastrephids (six species, three endemics), and cranchiids (five species, three endemics). Recent improvements in beak identification and taxonomy allowed making new correspondence between beak and species names, such as Galiteuthis suhmi (Hoyle 1886), Liguriella podophtalma Issel, 1908, and the recently described Taonius notalia Evans, in prep. Gonatus phoebetriae beaks were synonymized with those of Gonatopsis octopedatus Sasaki, 1920, thus increasing significantly the number of records and detailing the circumpolar distribution of this rarely caught Southern Ocean squid. The review extends considerably the number of species, including endemics, recorded from the Southern Ocean, but it also highlights that the corresponding species to two well-described beaks (Moroteuthopsis sp.

Reid iving cephalopods include nautiluses, bobtail and bottle squids, pygmy cuttlefishes, cuttlefishes, Lsquids, and octopuses. While they may not be as diverse a group as other molluscs or as the bony fishes in terms of number of species (about 600 cephalopod species described worldwide), they are very abundant and some reach large sizes. Hence they are of considerable ecological and commercial fisheries importance globally and in the Western Central Pacific. Remarks on MajorREMARKS Groups of CommercialON MAJOR Importance GROUPS OF COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE Nautiluses (Family Nautilidae) Nautiluses are the only living cephalopods with an external shell throughout their life cycle. This shell is divided into chambers by a large number of septae and provides buoyancy to the animal. The animal is housed in the newest chamber. A muscular hood on the dorsal side helps close the aperture when the animal is withdrawn into the shell. Nautiluses have primitive eyes filled with seawater and without lenses. They have arms that are whip-like tentacles arranged in a double crown surrounding the mouth. Although they have no suckers on these arms, mucus associated with them is adherent. Nautiluses are restricted to deeper continental shelf and slope waters of the Indo-West Pacific and are caught by artisanal fishers using baited traps set on the bottom. The flesh is used for food and the shell for the souvenir trade. Specimens are also caught for live export for use in home aquaria and for research purposes.

Performs diel vertical migrations from 0 to more than 650 m depth, and regular inshore-offshore ontogenetic migrations and less regular latitudinal migrations of several hundred miles. Younger and/or smaller jumbo squids predominate in oceanic waters, while larger jumbo squids are more neritic. Maintains some reproductive activity all year round, with increased reproductive activity from July to February and peaks between October and January. Life span is usually one year, although some specimens can live up to two years. Slight differences in the age or size of sexual maturity and main distribution areas suggests that there are least three strains, groups or population subunits of jumbo squid inhabiting the Peruvian Humboldt Current System. Is a very aggressive predator and prey availability seems to be more important than temperature or other environmental parameters in shaping its geographic distribution.

On the origin and evolution of Antarctic Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca)* ANGELIKA BRANDT Zoological Institute and Zoological Museum, Martin-Luther-King-Platz 3, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany Dedicated to Jürgen Sieg, who silently died in 1996. He inspired this research with his important account of the zoogeography of the Antarctic Tanaidacea. SUMMARY: The early separation of Gondwana and the subsequent isolation of Antarctica caused a long evolutionary his- tory of its fauna. Both, long environmental stability over millions of years and habitat heterogeneity, due to an abundance of sessile suspension feeders on the continental shelf, favoured evolutionary processes of “preadapted“ taxa, like for exam- ple the Peracarida. This taxon performs brood protection and this might be one of the most important reasons why it is very successful (i.e. abundant and diverse) in most terrestrial and aquatic environments, with some species even occupying deserts. The extinction of many decapod crustaceans in the Cenozoic might have allowed the Peracarida to find and use free ecological niches. Therefore the palaeogeographic, palaeoclimatologic, and palaeo-hydrographic changes since the Palaeocene (at least since about 60 Ma ago) and the evolutionary success of some peracarid taxa (e.g. Amphipoda, Isopo- da) led to the evolution of many endemic species in the Antarctic. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of the Antarctic Tanaidacea, Sieg (1988) demonstrated that the tanaid fauna of the Antarctic is mainly represented by phylogenetically younger taxa, and data from other crustacean taxa led Sieg (1988) to conclude that the recent Antarctic crustacean fauna must be comparatively young.
