Description of a New Species of Oligobrachia(Pogonophora) from the North Atlantic, With a Survey of the Oligobrachiidae
Collections of bottom-living animals from the continental slope of the northern Bay of Biscay contain a new species of Oligobrachia this increases the number of species of Oligobrachia known from the North Atlantic to five. Oligobrachiids are quite frequently found incubating embryos and five indivi...
