This dataset includes information on sea stars collected during the ANDEEP3 expedition, which took place in 2005. The expedition focused on deep-sea stations in the Powell Basin and Weddell Sea.Sea stars were collected using an Agassiz trawl (3m, mesh-size 500µm), deployed in 16 stations during the ANTXXII/3 (ANDEEP3, PS72) expedition of the RV Polarstern. Sampling depth ranged from 1047 to 493...

Members of the Asteroidea (phylum Echinodermata), popularly known as starfish or sea stars, are ecologically important and diverse members of marine ecosystems in all of the world's oceans. We present a comprehensive overview of diversity and phylogeny as they have figured into the evolution of the Asteroidea from Paleozoic to the living fauna. Living post-Paleozoic asteroids, the Neoasteroidea...

Abstract In the present study, biochemical composition of some Echinodermata (Holothuroidea, Echinoidea) from Red Sea, Egypt was investigated. The results showed that highest percentage saturated fatty acids (SFA) in Holothuria nobilis and lowest recorded scabra. monounsaturated (MUFA) Pearsonothuria graeffei while atra. polyunsaturated (PUFA) omega-3 Stichopus hermanni however, Diadema setosum...

Benthic fauna caught by ring dredge and 2 m beam trawl at the NATURA 2000 Sylt Outer Reef (SAR) Borkum Ground (BRG) sites in North Sea are examined relation to intensity of mobile bottom-trawling fisheries. Samples were taken from 33 stations two areas, collected benthic fauna, consisting infauna, epifauna, demersal fish was determined. A total 123 species found, phyla Chordata, Mollusca, Arthr...

This study aims to investigate the community composition similarity of invertebrates in Nglambor intertidal zone. The invertebrate communities zone Indonesia was studied August and September 2020.. data occurring algae were obtained by plot method. Abiotic factors such as water pH, light intensity, salinity measured at each station. among habitat types determined using Dice’s coefficient, meanw...

O ensino de zoologia costuma ser abordado modo tradicional, que têm como avalição principalmente a memorização das características dos filos. Nesta abordagem não há preocupação uma formação multidimensional, na qual o aluno teria construção um pensamento crítico e desenvolveria competências habilidades. presente estudo teve objetivo apresentar informações necessárias sobre Filo Echinodermata, p...

Echinoderms with around 7,000 species can be found at all depths of the marine ecosystems. Body shape is radially symmetrical, covered by calcareous plates and five body parts are around a central axis. The class of Asteroidea (also known as starfish or sea star) is one of the most diverse groups within the phylum Echinodermata, including nearly 1900 extant species grouped into 36 families, and...
