Gelatinous zooplankton on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Distribution patterns of trawl-collected planktonic cnidarians
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) between 40˚N (Azores) and 63˚N (Iceland) is the largest topographic feature in the North Atlantic Ocean. However, the fauna and ecological significance of mid-ocean ridges has remained poorly understood. This is especially true for the morphologically fragile gelatinous...
