Deep-sea crustacean, new distributional recordAbstract
The present work reports the occurrence of the deep-sea Caridea, Notostomus auriculatus Barnard, 1950 which represents the first record for the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Organisms were caught during a fishing operation onboard the FV ‘Echizen Maru’ with a bottom trawl at the southeast of Isla de los Estados, Argentina, between 780 and 1,040 m depth. This record extends the spatial distribution of N. auriculatus.
