Rareness of Emertonia species The new species were found in a small number of stations (11) compared to the total number of 74 investigated stations—most of them sampled during the Census of Abyssal Marine Life (CeDAMar). A total of 875 sediment samples (mainly collected with multicorers) were checked in the course of this study (Fig. 2). The number of copepods examined (adults and copepodids) totalled more than 73,000 individuals.
