First record of the rare deep-sea polychaete Rhamphobrachium ( Rhamphobrachium) agassizii (Annelida: Onuphidae) in European waters
Abstract Rhamphobrachium ( Rhamphobrachium ) agassizii is reported from the Cantabrian Sea, Spain, from depths of 925–1207 m. This is its first record off the Iberian Peninsula and in European waters, representing its northernmost distribution in the North Atlantic Ocean to date. Previous reports of...
