Stanford University Invertebrate studies in the Ross Sea 1958-61: general account and station list / John H. Dearborn.
Title: | Stanford University Invertebrate studies in the Ross Sea 1958-61: general account and station list / John H. Dearborn. |
Author(s): | Dearborn, John H. |
Date: | 1967. |
Publisher: | Wellington: Department of Scientific and Industrial Research |
In: | Fauna of the Ross Sea. Part 5 : General accounts, station lists, and benthic ecology. (1967.), |
Abstract: | Study of benthic invertebrate communities at McMurdo Station marks the first time a land-based group has been in the Ross Sea area specifically to carry out a marine biological project throughout the year. The collections indicate a rich and varied benthic invertebrate fauna, with filter-feeding predaceous forms predominating. The relative paucity of species associated with the volcanic gravel and sand substrate of shallow water is compensated for by a large assemblage of siliceous sponges, alcyonarians, and ectoprocts overlying the volcanic gravel and rocks in deeper water. Hydroids, polychaetes, small crustaceans, brachiopods, pterobranchs, ans ascidians are commonly found in the sponge mats. The objectives, area studied, collecting techniques, laboratory work, and results, including the scope of faunal survey, hydrological data and effects of ice on marine ecology are summarized. A collecting station list from the Glacier and Eastwind, and various points along McMurdo Sound are presented. |
