Some features of the quantitative distribution of sipunculan worms (Sipuncula) in the central and southern Barents Sea
The article reports on the current state of the sipunculan fauna of the central and southern parts of the Barents Sea. The main quantitative parameters (biomass and abundance) of the sipunculan populations are obtained, and the contribution of sipunculids to the total benthos biomass is assessed. Th...
