FIGURE 11. Benthic Ecology: The V. scotiaensis sp. nov. assemblage at the "Carwash" vent chimney in the E9 vent field (60°02.809S, 29°58904W), East Scotia Ridge Back-Arc Basin. a: Photograph DSCN9734, showing V. scotiaensis sp. nov. as the dominant organism living at this site. a specimen of the decapod Kiwa (arrowed) may be seen above and slightly to the right of the letter 'a'; a larger, pink anemone, Pacmanactis sp. (arrowed), is on the left margin. Image taken by the Scorpio stills camera on Isis, Dive 138. b: Photograph DSCN0191, showing detail of V. scotiaensis sp. nov. in feeding mode with extended, delicate, filamentous cirri. A specimen of the limpet Lepetodrilus sp. was grazing on the exterior of one of the larger peduncles (arrowed). Image taken by the Scorpio stills camera on Isis, Dive 140. Only the 'gracile variety' of V. scotiaensis sp. nov. is present in these two photographs, both taken at circa 2400 metres, where temperatures in the barnacle assemblage zone ranges between 5 and 19°C (Marsh et al., 2012). Scale: diameter of largest peduncle (arrowed) circa 6mm.
