“…Although seawater temperatures and food availability were maintained within a range that was appropriate for deep-sea corals, the pressure level was different. The influence of pressure on the reproduction and growth of deep-sea invertebrates appears to be minimal on the basis of previous studies of corals and echinoderms (Mercier & Hamel 2008, whereas larvae of many species have been shown to tolerate large pressure changes (Pradillon & Gaill 2007).…”

“…The influence of seasonal flux in food availability (i.e. phytodetritus) on reproduction has been documented for several benthic invertebrates (Tyler et al 1982, Benayahu 1997, Ben-David-Zaslow et al 1999, Wigham et al 2003, Mercier & Hamel 2008, Sun 2009). Moreover, azooxanthellate soft corals are passive suspension feeders known to take advantage of various types of food particles, including zooplankton and phytoplankton (Fabricius et al 1995).…”

“…Allantactis parasitica is the second broadcast-spawning deep-sea invertebrate ever shown to produce pelagic lecithotrophic larvae, after the sea star Henricia lisa A.H. Clark, 1949 (Mercier andHamel 2008b). Both occur in deep waters off eastern Canada.…”

“…2003), and even the deep sea (Mercier and Hamel 2008). These within-species differences in abundance and size patterns have been attributed to the interplay between food, competition and predation, recruitment, and physical factors such as hydrodynamic forces (Doering andPhillips 1983, Freeman 2003).…”
