DNA Barcoding of Cold-Water Coral-Associated Ophiuroid Fauna from the North Atlantic
In this study we focus on the ophiuroid species associated with cold-water corals south of Iceland. The specimens were sampled with the ROV Phoca (GEOMAR) in three different areas, during the recent expedition MSM75 connected to the IceAGE_RR (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology_Reykjanes...

In this study we focus on the ophiuroid species associated with cold-water corals south of Iceland.
