Crustaceans associated with cold water corals: a comparison of the North Atlantic and North Pacific octocoral assemblages

Crustaceans live on large colonial invertebrates for a variety of reasons, but in all cases must overcome the defenses of the host animal. We surveyed the crustaceans living on deep-sea octocorals collected during expeditions to the New England and Corner Rise seamounts (2003–2005) in the Northwest...

We surveyed the crustaceans living on deep-sea octocorals collected during expeditions to the New England and Corner Rise seamounts (2003–2005) in the Northwest Atlantic and to the Aleutian Ridge (2004) in the North Pacific. Only a small number of crustacean species were found on octocorals in the Northwest Atlantic but a great many species, especially amphipods, were found on octocorals in the Northwest Pacific.
