On the Tautra Ridge – a 39-100 m deep morainic sill located in the middle of the Trondheimsfjord, Norway – some of the world’s shallowest known occurrences of the scleractinian cold-water coral (CWC) Desmophyllum pertusum can be found. The earliest D. pertusum records from the Tautra Ridge date back...
