The Gelatinous Macroplankton Community at the Hatoma Knoll Hydrothermal Vent

Abstract: A series of dives around the Hatoma Knoll, Okinawa Trough, have revealed a diverse community of gelatinous midwater animals. Many of these animals are potential predators of the larvae of hydrothermal vent-associated organisms. Due to the lack of published information on the midwater fauna of the Okinawa Trough, this paper endeavours to present a synopsis of the macroplanktonic gelatinous faunal elements present in and around the vent site at all depths where vent larvae may occur-from the surface to the benth… Show more

“…Since its description, Bathochordaeus charon has appeared in the literature a few times (Thompson 1948;Bückmann and Kapp 1973;Barham 1979;Galt 1979;Castellanos et al 2009;Lindsay et al 2015), without specimen collections to accompany them. The lack of specimens combined with Garstang's (1937) concerns about the characteristic features in the original description, have cast doubt on the legitimacy of B. charon (Chun) as a species distinct from B. stygius (Garstang).…”

“…More recently, a specimen called B. charon was collected by Castellanos et al (2009)) but no description was provided and, although a photograph was included neither the large spiracles nor esophageal expansion are visible. Lindsay et al, (Lindsay et al 2015) provide an in situ ROV image of the house of "Bathochordaeus sp. A" observed off the Nansei Island chain of Japan, but the structure of the inner filter differs markedly from the B.…”

“…High abundances of gelatinous zooplankton have been observed in the vicinity of vents in the southwest Pacific and in the Okinawa Trough (e.g. [127,128]). Large pelagic predators have also been seen within hydrothermal plumes in the shallow waters of Kavachi volcano crater in the Solomon Islands [127].…”

“…The whitish colour of the distal portion of the tentacles and, when mature, the form and placement of the gonadal tissue, seem to be stable and recurring morphological traits for this morphotype of S. incisa s.l., referred to in the JAMSTEC HQ video database as Solmissus white socks . Recent reports on in situ ROV observations of Solmissus species have introduced at least two morphotypes of Solmissus incisa, as shown in Lindsay et al (2015) in Fig.51.27 where a.b. has 23 tentacles and rectangular manubrial pouches, while c.d.…”

“…Kramp 1957, Mills & Goy 1988. Solmissus incisa has been suggested to be a species complex of several cryptic species (Toyokawa et al 1998, Lindsay et al 2015, Licandro et al 2017) and indeed the original description was based on an amalgamation of several broken medusae from more than one station (all around 39°N, 79°W) and with tentacle numbers ranging between 24-32 (Fewkes 1886) and bell diameters from 50-100 mm, suggesting more than one species may well have been contained in the original material. Haeckel (1879) had already described, seven years previously, three Solmissus species with 12 (S. ephesius), 24 (S. faberi) and 32 (S. bleekii) tentacles, respectively.…”
