Abstract
This project aims to describe the associations of crustaceans on whalebones implanted for 22 months in three latitudes on the South Atlantic at 1500 and 3300 m deep. It's expected to find greater richness and diversity on the 1500 m samples rather than the 3300 m samples, as observed in epibenthic communities of the deep sea. The landers were already implanted and will be recovered on Apr…
