Abstract
[GALIL, B. S. & GOREN, M. (1994): The deep sea Levantine fauna. — New records and rare occurrences. — Senckenbergiana marit., 25 (1/3): 41-52, 4 figs., 1 Tab.; Frankfurt a. M.] A series of twelve cruises conducted between 1988 and 1991 to study the bathyal off the coast of Israel brought up a wealth of new Uata. The present work adds nine new records for the Levant basin — the crustaceans Eryonekus kempi, Munidopsis marionis, Bathynectes maravigna, Geryon longipes; the echiurids Echiurus abyssalis and Bonellia viridis; the shark Etmopterus spinax and the fish Coelorbyncbus labiatus and Nezumia sclerorbynchus — and extends the distribution of eighteen more species to the easternmost boundary of the Mediterranean. It is suggested that the extreme poverty of the deep Levantine fauna is due, in part, to recurrence of anoxic conditions at bathyal depths during the the Quaternary. Kurzf assung
