Sars</i> cruise to the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, between the Azores and the Reykjanes Ridge, and on the 49th cruise of <i>Akademik Mstislav Keldysh</i> to the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone are described. Fourteen species were identified in the material. This relatively rich fauna includes several novel findings, indicating that the hexactinellid fauna of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge is poorly investigated. One genus, <i>Dictyaulus</i>, has never before been reported from the Atlantic Ocean. Two species belonging to the genera <i>Heterotella</i> and <i>Amphidiscella</i> are new to science. Two other species, <i>Rossella</i> <i>nodastrella</i> Topsent, 1915 and <i>Doconestes</i> <i>sessilis</i> Topsent, 1928, have been collected just one other time. Finally, a probable new genus of Euplectellidae, which unfortunately cannot be adequately described because of how small the specimens are, is represented among these collections. A large portion of dead, rigid skeletons of Euretidae and spicule mats of Rossellidae are also reported but not described in detail. Representation of some genera in the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone, coupled with recent observations from elsewhere along the Mid-Atlantic mountain chain, suggests that this fauna is as similar to those of the Indian Ocean and Indo-West Pacific as it is to West or East Atlantic faunas.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Glass sponges (Porifera, Hexactinellida) of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2008,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2008-05-13","DateCreate":"2008-05-13","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000253507900003","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":122208,"PubliDate":2008,"Pagination":"25-47","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"4","Issue":"1-2","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":72882,"SerRR":"Marine Biology Research.
