Benthic hydroids from Northeast Atlantic seamounts
The benthic hydroids collected on five lusitanian seamounts (Seine, Ampère, Lion, Gorringe, Josephine and Galice bank) during the French “SEAMOUNT 1” cruise, and those collected on the Great Meteor bank during the German “METEOR 42/3” cruise were studied. Global hydroid diversity account for 67 spec...
