چکیده
A new species of sponge without skeleton, Halisarca korotkovae sp. nov. is described from the Sea of Okhotsk. It differs from the other species of Halisarca by its different ecological conditions, as well as by its morphology and histology. The new species is characterized by its fulvous colour and by its big nucleolated, eosinophilic microgranular cells (18.7×9.5 to 10.8×7.1 μm) concentrated mainly in the ectosomal part of sponge in aggregates up to 40 μm in diameter.

Molecular and morphological description of a new species of Halisarca (Demospongiae: Halisarcida) from Mediterranean Sea and a redescription of the type species Halisarca dujardini
Halisarca harmelini sp. nov. is described from the northwestern Mediterranean Sea at depths between 15–65 m from coralligenous rocks. The new species occurs as thin sheets only on the bryozoan Smittina cervicornis. Morphologically, it is characterized by its thin layer architecture, skin-like, lusterless and smooth surface, a soft, very delicate and easily torn texture, and pale-yellow colour. ...
متن کاملIdentification key to Nephtyidae (Annelida) of the Sea of Okhotsk
Currently, 15 species of Nephtyidae (Annelida) are known from the Sea of Okhotsk (north-western Pacific). A new user-friendly identification key is presented with a brief description for each species. The taxonomic positions of three closely related species, Nephtys brachycephala Moore, 1903, N. schmitti Hartman, 1938 and N. paradoxa Malm, 1874, are revised. The distributions of two species, Ne...
متن کاملSnailfishes of the Careproctus rastrinus complex (Liparidae): redescriptions of seven species in the North Pacific Ocean region, with the description of a new species from the Beaufort Sea.
Herein we review and recognize as valid all previously described species of the Careproctus rastrinus complex based on morphological evidence, provide diagnoses and descriptions of all species, describe a new species from the Beaufort Sea, and address the misapplication of several names throughout the area. In particular, the name C. rastrinus is restricted to populations of the western Pacific...
متن کاملRecent Studies of the Sea of Okhotsk
We recently have had a Japan-Russia-United States International Joint Project, 1997-2002. In this project, we have carried out intensive oceanographic observations in the almost entire Sea of Okhotsk for the first time, using a Russian research vessel; we have had four times cruises, changing seasons. This report summarizes several new findings for the Sea of Okhotsk which were obtained by this...
متن کاملThe fate of larval flagellated cells during metamorphosis of the sponge Halisarca dujardini.
Sponge larval flagellated cells have been known to form the external layer of larva, but their subsequent fate and morphogenetic role are still unclear. It is actually impossible to follow flagellated cell developmental fate unless a specific marker is found. We used percoll density gradient fractionation to separate different larval cell types of Halisarca dujardini (Demospongiae, Halisarcida)...
