Taxonomic Study of Suborder Calcaxonia (Alcyonacea: Octocorallia: Anthozoa) from King Sejong Station, Antarctic [PDF]

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2012
Some gorgonians in the families, Primnoidae and Isididae within the suborder Calcaxonia were collected from subtidal zones between depths of 10 and 45 m in the coastal regions of King Sejong Station (62??13′S, 058??

The Biodiversity of Calcaxonian Octocorals from the Irish Continental Slope Inferred from Multilocus Mitochondrial Barcoding

Diversity, 2022
Deep-sea corals are important benthic inhabitants that support the biodiversity and function of the wider faunal community; however, their taxonomy is underdeveloped and their accurate identification is often difficult.

New Records of Cold-Water Corals from Korea [PDF]

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016
Two cold-water coral taxa, Octocorallia in the class Anthozoa and Stylasteridae in the class Hydrozoa, were identified. Deep-water samples were collected in fishing nets at depths ranging between 20 and 200 m along the coasts of the East Sea in Korea ...

Comparative Observations of Current Flow, Tidal Spectra, and Scattering Strength in and Around Hawaiian Deep-Sea Coral Patches

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Environmental conditions of deep-sea corals were monitored with instruments placed in and adjacent to three Hawaiian deep-sea coral patches dominated by gorgonian octocorals and zoanthid gold coral.

Phenotypic Plasticity or a Reproductive Dead End? Primnoa pacifica (Cnidaria: Alcyonacea) in the Southeastern Alaska Region

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Red tree corals (Primnoa pacifica) are abundant in the eastern Gulf of Alaska, from the glacial fjords of Southeast Alaska where they emerge to as shallow as 6 m, to the continental shelf edge and seamounts where they are more commonly found at depths ...

Zoantharians (Hexacorallia: Zoantharia) Associated with Cold-Water Corals in the Azores Region: New Species and Associations in the Deep Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Zoantharians are a group of cnidarians that are often found in association with marine invertebrates, including corals, in shallow and deep-sea environments.

Deep‐Sea Coral Abundance, Distribution, and Community Structure on Seafloor Features Across a Broad Depth Gradient in North‐Central California National Marine Sanctuaries

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Patterns in deep‐sea coral (DSC) diversity and distribution are described for a range of benthic habitat features including offshore banks, continental shelf and slope, and submarine canyons in three national marine sanctuaries off the coast of North‐central California.

Multi‐Taxon Predictions of Deep‐Sea Corals and Sponges From Stacked Species Distribution Models in the United States West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone and Relation to Trawl Closure Zones

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Abundant species distribution models (SDMs) of deep‐sea corals and sponges (DSCS) allow one to make community‐level predictions about DSCS. Pairing that with the conservation information of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) due to their sensitivity to seafloor trawling, one can assess the efficacy of established seafloor protections ...
