Wood-associated fauna collected during the KuramBio expedition in the North West Pacific
Individual wood fragments obtained from Agassiz trawl samples in the abyssal plain area off the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench were analysed for faunistic components. Out of seven pieces of wood collected, only five harboured fauna and each showed distinctively different colonization patterns. In total, 257...

Individual wood fragments obtained from Agassiz trawl samples in the abyssal plain area off the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench were analysed for faunistic components.

In total, 257 specimens, mainly belonging to the phyla Arthropoda, Nematoda, Mollusca and Annelida, were collected from the available pieces of wood. While wood-boring bivalves of the genus Xylophaga, generally seen as opportunists among wood-converting organisms, were present at nearly all stations, the overwhelming majority of taxa found were restricted to individual pieces of wood. A fresh piece of wood from a site opposite to the Tsugaru Strait, was the most heavily colonized.
