The diversity and distribution of marine macroalgae along the Brazilian coast have been investigated in detail. However, information about the deep-water macroalgal flora remains scarce, available mostly in scattered publications or gray literature. In this context, the aim of this study was to describe three specimens of Rhodophyta (Cottoniella fusiformis, Frikkiella searlesii and Branchioglossum cf. minutum) collected in the deep waters of the continental shelf off the coast of the state of Espírito Santo during expeditions of the program Evaluating the Potential of Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone. The morphology and distribution of the collected species are detailed, and the taxonomic and biogeographic implications are discussed.

The geographical distribution of the family Limacinidae in the Northeastern coast of Brazil was analyzed by taking into account the most relevant ecological aspects, aiming to increase the knowledge about the Family. The material was collected during the 4th Oceanographic Expedition of the REVIZEE program (Assessment of the Sustainable Potential of Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone - Avaliação do Potencial Sustentável de Recursos Vivos da Zona Econômica Exclusiva), in the months from September to December 2000. The studied area is located between 00646'45"N and 13653'45"S and between 29615'40"W and 39649'42"W, where six trips were performed, totaling 123 stations. The samples were collected using a bongo net (300- and 500-mm mesh size and net mouths of 60 cm in diameter) coupled with a digital flowmeter in oblique hauls from a depth of 0 to 200 m. For this study, the organisms retained in the 300-mm mesh were considered. On board the ship, the samples were placed in plastic containers, labeled, and fixed in 4% formaldehyde buffered with sodium tetraborate. In the laboratory, the samples were analyzed on a "Bogorov" tray under a binocular stereomicroscope. A total of 5655 individuals of the family Limacinidae were examined and were distributed as follows: 3 genera and 5 species. Representatives of the family Limacinidae were observed at high temperatures and salinities and were thus characterized as tropical and euhaline. Heliconoides inflatus was the species with the greatest abundance and frequency. Limacina lesueurii proved to be a rare, infrequently observed species. Limacina trochiformis and L. bulimoides were not abundant or frequent. Limacina lesueurii and L. bulimoides were recorded in neritic waters for the first time; this was also the first record of L. lesueurii in the waters of Northeastern Brazil. Limacina trochiformis and L. bulimoides exhibited wide distributions, although they were neither very frequently observed nor abundant. The distribution of Thielea helicoides was restricted to oceanic waters. A correlation between Limacina bulimoides, Heliconoides inflatus, Thielea helicoides, and L. lesueurii was observed because they coexisted in the same niche. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The seamount biota has gained considerable conservation momentum in the latter years. Nonetheless, very little is known about seamount sponges across the world, and off Brazil in particular. The present study describes three new species of Erylus Gray, 1867 (Demospongiae, Astrophorida, Geodiidae) from bathyal waters in the Almirante Saldanha seamount (Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil). The material described here stemmed from dredging conducted during Programme REVIZEE in 1997 and 2002. Several new species of Erylus have been described recently from the Brazilian coast, and it appears that more will eventually show up. An updated identification key to southwestern Atlantic Erylus is given, as well as a tabular synopsis of micrometric and distribution data for the Erylus of the world. Finally, a checklist of published records of sponges from the Almirante Saldanha seamount is offered, and contrasted to the MNRJ sponge collections for this, as well as additional Brazilian seamounts.

A distribuição geográfica da família Limacinidae na costa do Nordeste brasileiro, foi analisada levando em consideração os aspectos ecológicos mais relevantes, objetivando a ampliação do conhecimento sobre a família. O material foi coletado durante a IV Expedição Oceanográfica do Programa REVIZEE (Avaliação do Potencial Sustentável de Recursos Vivos da Zona Econômica Exclusiva), nos meses de setembro a dezembro de 2000. A área estudada está localizada entre 00°46’45”N a 13°53’45”S - 29°15’40”W a 39°49’42”W, onde foram realizados seis cruzeiros, totalizando 123 estações. As amostras foram coletadas em rede tipo bongo (malhas coletoras de 300 e 500 µm, com aros de 60 cm de diâmetro) acopladas com fluxômetro digital, em arrastos oblíquos na profundidade de 0 a 200 m. Foram considerados os organismos retidos na malha de 300 µm. A bordo, as amostras foram acondicionadas em recipientes plásticos, etiquetadas e fixadas em formaldeído a 4%, tamponado com tetraborato de sódio. Em laboratório, as amostras foram analisadas em placa do tipo “Bogorov”, sob estereomicroscópio binocular. Foram examinados 5655 indivíduos da família Limacinidae, assim distribuídos: 03 gêneros e 05 espécies. Os representantes da família Limacinidae ocorreram em altas temperaturas e salinidades, caracterizando-se, assim, como tropicais e euhalinos.Heliconoides inflatus sobressaiu em abundância e frequência. Limacina lesueurii mostrou-se uma espécie rara e pouco frequente. Limacina trochiformis e L. bulimoides foram pouco abundantes e pouco frequentes.Limacina lesueurii e L. bulimoides foram registradas como primeira ocorrência em águas neríticas, sendo este o primeiro registro deL. lesueurii para as águas do Nordeste brasileiro.Limacina trochiformis e L. bulimoidestiveram ampla distribuição, apesar de pouco frequentes e pouco abundantes. A distribuição de Thielea helicoides restringiu-se às águas oceânicas. Foi observada uma correlação entre Limacina bulimoides, Heliconoides inflatus, Thielea helicoides eL. lesueurii por coexistirem no mesmo nicho.

Dissertação(Mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Oceanografia Biológica, Instituto de Oceanografia, 2006. Montes submarinos são as principais feições topográficas de fundo oceânico. Com uma gama considerável de alturas e profundidades de topo, dispondo de uma variedade de tipos de substratos e habitats, constituem importantes ecossistemas para a biota de regiões oceânicas. Ao longo da ZEE das regiões Central e Nordeste registra-se a presença de diversos bancos e ilhas oceânicas, as quais compreendem a área de estudo do presente trabalho. Essas áreas foram prospectadas com metodologia hidroacústica ao longo de dois cruzeiros, executados nas regiões Central e Nordeste do Brasil. Os dados hidroacústicos, ambientais e biológicos provenientes desses dois cruzeiros foram analisados a fim de classificar os eco-registros detectados, estudar possíveis alterações na estrutura termohalina decorrentes da presença de bancos e ilhas, e avaliar a relação entre a presença destas feições e a distribuição e abundâncias de organismos pelágicos. Os eco-registros detectados pela sonda, na região Nordeste do Brasil, nos setores Bancos Oceânicos do Ceará, Atol das Rocas e Arquipélagos de Fernando de Noronha e de São Pedro e São Paulo, foram classificados nos ecotipos Camada Oceânica, Myctophidae, Camada Oceânica com Myctophidae e Nuvem de Quebra. Efeitos da presença dos bancos e ilhas, provocando alterações nas características termohalinas locais, não foram evidenciados a partir dos dados ambientais disponíveis. Não foi observado um padrão claro na distribuição dos valores de densidade acústica nos entornos das feições consideradas no presente estudo, indicando diferenças locais associadas às mesmas. Eventos de migração nictemeral foram frequentemente observados e hidroacusticamente registrados. Essas migrações estabelecem importantes diferenças nos níveis de densidades acústicas durante o dia e a noite. No período noturno as densidades são mais elevadas entre a superfície e os 500 m, limite das prospecções, do que no período diurno. Tais eventos são, provavelmente, de destacada importância ecológica para a região. Seamounts are the main topographical features of the oceanic bottom. With a considerable range of heights and top depths, and a variety of substrata and different habitats, constitute important ecosystems. Along the Exclusive Economic Zone (ZEE) of the Central and Northeast coasts of Brazil several oceanic banks and islands exist and are the geographical area of the present study where two acoustic assessment cruises were carried out. The aims of this study are the classification of the echo records, to evaluate possible alterations in the thermohaline structure due the presence of banks and islands, and the analysis of the relationship between the presence of these features and the distribution and abundance of pelagic organisms. Hydroacoustic, environmental and biological data derived from such cruises were used. The echo records were classified in the Oceanic Layer, Myctophidae, Oceanic Layer with Myctophidae and Cloud of Break echo types. Evidences were not found of the effects of the presence of banks and islands in the local thermohaline structure, with the available data. A clear pattern was not observed in the distribution of the recorded acoustic density around the features, indicating local differences associated to the same ones. Strong and important vertical migration events were frequently observed and recorded. Acoustic densities observed from the surface down to 500 m, maximum assessed depth, were higher during the night compared to daylight hours. Such events are, probably, ecologically very important in the studied area.
