Abstract

ZAMORANO, Pablo; HENDRICKX, Michel E  and  TOLEDANO-GRANADOS, Arturo. New geographic and depth records for deep-water mollusks in the Gulf of California, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2007, vol.78, n.2, pp.311-318. ISSN 2007-8706.

Six oceanographic cruises (Talud IV-IX) were made in the southern Gulf of California aboard the R/V El Puma of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. A total of 56 species of deep-sea mollusks were identified, of which 16 (13 Bivalvia, 2 Gastropoda, 1 Scaphopoda) represent either a new geographic or bathymetric record, or both.

Keywords : Talud IV-IX cruises; continental slope; distribution; Bivalvia; Gastropoda; Scaphopoda.
