Distribution:

Free-living marine nematodes, often in deeper waters. For example, the White Sea is a small marginal shelf sea separated from the Arctic Ocean by the shallow and narrow Gorlo Strait. In its deepest regions (small depressions with a maximum depth of 343 m): the deep water is very cold (about -1.5 Ã‚°C) and not fully saline (29.5-30.0 %). Samples collectedat a depth of 251-288 m had 59 nematode morphotypes belonging to 37 genera and 18 families. he genera Sabatieria and Filipjeva dominated at all samples, followed by Aponema, Desmoscolex, and Quadricoma. The composition of the dominant genera is considered typical for this depth range in temperate and Arctic waters (Miljutin et al., 2014).
