The study analyzed the bathymetric distribution of Annelida, Crustacea, and Echinodermata species in the Kara, Laptev, and East Siberian seas, as well as the deep-sea Central Arctic region. It identified zones of crowding of upper and lower species range limits, with the most significant zones occurring at depths of 450-800 m and 1,800-2,000 m. These boundaries differ from those reported in other ocean regions, and possible explanations for these differences are discussed.
The bathymetric distribution of species of Annelida, Crustacea and Echinodermata from the region including the Kara, Laptev and East Siberian seas and the adjacent region of the deep-sea Central Arctic was analysed. We focused on vertical species ranges revealing zones of crowding of upper and lower species range limits. Using published data and in part the material obtained during the expeditions of the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, we evaluated species vertical distribution from 0 m to the maximum depth of the Central Arctic (similar to 4,400 m). The entire depth range was divided into smaller intervals; number of upper and lower limits of species depth ranges was counted and plotted to visualize the range limits crowding. Several zones of crowding of vertical species range limits were found for all analysed macrotaxa. The most significant zones occurred at depths of 450-800 m and 1,800-2,000 m. The first depth zone corresponds to the boundary between the sublittoral and bathyal faunas. The last one marks the boundary between the bathyal and abyssal faunas. Depths of these boundaries differ from those reported from other Ocean regions; possible explanations of these differences are discussed.
