I want to study effect of depth on marine invertebrates and marine benthos. I have data on depth distribution and marine invertebrates community composition, but their compositions are very vague.
Can anybody introduce useful paper for this issue?
Hi, you can an article abort find abort Decapoda in Thé Marmara Sea below 1000 meters in my researchgate portal. Best wishes

Dear Haroun
Does the principal of invertebrates distribution in sea and river is different or is the same?
I do not quite understand what do you mean under "effect of depth". Pressure is a general characteristic that notably changes with depth. However, other environmental factors like water and sea floor structure, bottom relief and sediment composition, chemical compounds distribution, habitats, etc. drive benthos distribution patterns (and, of course, flow-driven benthos distribution in rivers is very distinct from the benthos distribution patterns in marine ecosystems) . If your study is from the high-pressure biology field, I cannot recommend anything. In other case, it is better to clarify your question. E.g., about 90% of the macrobenthos biomass is distributed within the shelf depths (0-200 m) in the Sea of Okhotsk (Shuntov 2001) but distribution patterns differ by taxa and regions (Radchenko et al. 2010): Sea of Okhotsk.

Dear Vladimir
You are absolutely right. All environmental factors can affect distribution.
but i want to study how this distribution occurs in 1 to 20 m depth.
Hi. Take a look at this paper well, by the late Prof. John Gray:
Gray, J.S., 1997. Gradients of marine biodiversity. In Ormond, R., Gage, J., Grassle, J.F., (Eds) Marine biodiversity: patterns and processes. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, pp.18-34.
Have you tried searching through Google scholar? That is a good search engine for Scientific papers.
Dear Halldis
Yes. I tried before but i did not find a useful one. Some journals did not indexed in Google scholar
You can read the following paper:
2011.Dispersión de Cnidaria:comunidad marina pleuston y comunidad marina bentos.Revista Real Academia Galega de Ciencias.Vol.XXX:91-102.
Key words:Cnidaria-Pleuston-Benthos-Environmental links.
I¨m sorry but this paper is in spanish.Maybe it is can help you.
Hi, I can recommend you this paper about bathymetrical distribution of the ascidian Halocynthia papillosa:
Coppari, M., Gori, A., & Rossi, S. (2014). Size, spatial, and bathymetrical distribution of the ascidian Halocynthia papillosa in Mediterranean coastal bottoms: benthic–pelagic coupling implications. Marine Biology, 161(9), 2079-2095.
Also others from Antactica, regarding benthic communities:
Sahade, R., Tatián, M., Kowalke, J., Kühne, S., & Esnal, G. B. (1998). Benthic faunal associations on soft substrates at Potter Cove, King George Island, Antarctica. Polar Biology, 19(2), 85-91.

Young, C. M., Sewell, M. A., Tyler, P. A., & Metaxas, A. (1997). Biogeographic and bathymetric ranges of Atlantic deep-sea echinoderms and ascidians: the role of larval dispersal. Biodiversity & Conservation, 6(11), 1507-1522.
I hope this can help you!
