Summary: | In the past decade, the biology of the bathyal, abyssal, and hadal faunas of all size classes(meio- macro-, and megabenthos) of the NW Pacific have been intensively investigated based on a Memorandum of Understanding (2007) between Russian and German partners. A total of four Russian-German and German-Russian expeditions with the RV Akademik M.A. Lavrentyev and RV Sonne have provided a wealth of data on the systematics, evolution and biogeography of the deep-sea faunas of the Sea of Japan (SojaBio, 2010) (Malyutina and Brandt 2013), Sea of Okhotsk (SokhoBio, 2015) (Malyutina et al. 2018), the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench (KKT), and the NW Pacific open abyssal plain adjacent to the KKT (KuramBio I and II, 2012 - 2016) (Brandt et al. 2019; Brandt et al. 2018; Brandt et al. 2020; Brandt and Malyutina 2015). The goals of these expeditions were to study the biodiversity, biogeography, and evolution of the benthic organisms in different NW Pacific deep-sea environments. We aimed to compare more isolated deep-sea basins ... |
