Figure 2.— Chart showing the submersible dive(s) sites and grab sample stations containing Ceriantharia. Symbols for submersible 

 dive(s) sites often circumscribe more than one dive, since at this scale some dives were too close together to distinguish with separate 

 symbols (1 fm = 1.83 m). 



Relation to Bathymetry 



In grab samples, Ceriantharia were found at 

 depths from 6 to 2,329 m, but occurrence was not 

 independent of depth (x 2 , P < 0.05). Occurrence 



was highest from to 100 m, and no Ceriantharia 

 were caught from 501 to 900 m (Fig. 4). 



Submersible dive depth range was 80 to 1,930 m 

 (Appendix Tables 1, 2). Cerianthids B, C, and D were 

 seen within the 80-400 m range, no species were
