Description

The Pycnogonida collection of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (IORAS) contains 2019 lots of sea spider wet collection from different areas of the World Ocean. The entire IORAS Pycnogonida collection is digitized – taxon name according to World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), collection date, coordinates, depth and other data for every specimen is stored in database and available as dataset at GBIF. 74% of specimens are determined to the species level.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The material was collected mainly to investigate fauna of Russian seas and deep-sea fauna of the World Ocean.

Sampling

The collection specimens were mainly obtained using Sigsbee trawls (at 665 localities), bottom trawls (176 localities), Agassiz trawls (155 localities), grab Okean 0.25 (106 localities) and dredges (73 localities). In total, 6775 specimens of pycnogonids were obtained by various trawls.

Taxonomic Coverages

The collection was mainly identified and curated by Elena Petrovna Turpaeva (1923 - 2017), Soviet and Russian zoologist and specialist on sea spider taxonomy and also on marine fouling. Elena Petrovna worked in the IORAS since 1950 and described 60 new Pycnogonida species and 10 new subspecies. 110 type specimens for 51 species and 11 subspecies are kept in the collection. The collection includes 274 Pycnogonida species, representing 45 genera and 13 families of Pycnogonida.
