Deep‐Sea Polychaetous Annelida from Central America to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Sandwich Islands
Abstract Based on the 1958 Vema cruise and the 1965 Anton Bruun cruise 11 off the west coast of Central America and south through the islands east of the tip of South America, 143 trawl samples were examined for abyssal polychaetous annelida. The cruise tracks designated 7 major areas: Central Ameri...
