Comparative reproductive biology of deep-sea ophiuroids inhabiting polymetallic-nodule fields in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone

Abstract: Deep-sea mining in the NE Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ), a low-energy sedimentary habitat with polymetallic nodules, is expected to have considerable and long-lasting environmental impact. Recent studies have revealed extraordinarily high species diversity in the CCZ, in nearly all domains of Life present. Data on species biology and ecology remain scarce however. The current study describes the reproductive biology of Ophiosphalma glabrum (Lütken & Mortensen, 1899) (Ophiosphalmidae) and O… Show more

“…Species of the class Ophiuroidea represent all kinds of feeding types and show different lifestyles (e.g. Pearson and Gage, 1984;O'Hara et al, 2008;Mosher and Watling, 2009;Stöhr et al, 2012;Laming et al, 2021;Manjoń-Cabeza et al, 2021). So, it is incorrect to generalize the behavior of the whole class.…”

“…Among taxa collected in the CCZ, the class Ophiuroidea (Echinodermata) are widespread and abundant (Simon-Lledóet al, 2019b;Christodoulou et al, 2020). Ophiuroids inhabit all kind of habitats, from the tropics to the poles and from shallow waters to deep-sea ecosystems (O'Hara, 2007;Stöhr et al, 2012;Bribiesca-Contreras et al, 2019;Laming et al, 2021). Because of their global distribution, ophiuroids serve as excellent model organisms for the understanding of large-scale diversity and evolution patterns (Hunter and Halanych, 2008;Cho and Shank, 2010;Galaska et al, 2017;Galaska et al, 2019;Jossart et al, 2019;O'Hara et al, 2019;Stöhr et al, 2020;Eichsteller et al, 2022).…”
