New Species of Scalibregmatidae (Annelida) from Slope and Abyssal Depths off Eastern Australia, RV Investigator voyage IN2017_V03 (2017)

Seven new species of Scalibregmatidae are described from deep waters off the east coast of Australia. Samples were collected as part of the RV Investigator voyage IN2017_V03 in May/June 2017 using a Brenke sledge and 0.25 m2 box core. Sample depths reported in the present study were from the lower continental slope of about 2450 m to abyssal depths up to 4280 m. These collections provide the first scalibregmatid polychaetes to be described from deep water off Australia. The data has been acquired on the following RV Investigator voyage IN2017_V03 with links to additional metadata, datasets, events, deployments, publications etc. If this data has been used in any products, please acknowledge with the following: We acknowledge the use of the CSIRO Marine National Facility (https://ror.org/01mae9353) in undertaking this research.
