New distributional record, Primnoidae, bycatch species, cold-water coralsAbstract
In this study we report the presence of the soft coral Verticillata castellviae at 947 m deep, off Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, which constitutes the northernmost record for this species. The specimen was collected as a bycatch species with a troncopyramidal trap during an experimental cruise devoted to the study of the red crab Chaceon notialis and the Patagonian lobsterette Thymops birsteini.
