  2. Study of seamounts in former USSR 1967 – RV “Astronom” reported previously unknown aggregations (evaluated as ~29 tons/km2 )of boarfish at junction of Imperor seamount chain and North Hawaiian Ridge (Boretz & Darnitsky, 1983) end of 1980s – about 300 seamounts examined as potential resource for fishing groundsin Atlantic, Pacific, South and Indian Ocean (studies often confined by acoustical methods to detect fish aggregations or 1-2 trawls)

  3. Study of seamounts in former USSR 1960s- beginning of 1980s performed mostly by VNIRO-framework: All-USSR Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO) Moscow Pacific Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (TINRO) Vladivostok Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography (PINRO) Murmansk Atlantic of Fisheries and Oceanography (AtlantNIRO) Kaliningrad Fishery stock survey framework (RYBPROMRAZVEDKA) 1977 Experimental Center for Marine Technologies “GIDRONAVT”(since 1991MARIECOPROM) Sebastopol Data obtained used as application fishery data only and little scientific results or syntheses published

  4. Thalassobathyal 1974. Andriashev. Zonation of seamounts based on fish fauna (in English: Andriashev A.P., 1977. Some additions to schemes of the vertical zonation of marine bottom fauna. In: G.A. Llano (ed.), Adaptations within Antarctic Ecosystems, pp. 351–360. Proc. 3d SCAR Symposium on Antarctic Biology. Washington.) Thalassobathyal Seamounts, guyots, mid-oceanic ridges and other shelflessoceanic rises down to 2000-2500 m Abyssal (after Andriashev, 1979)

  5. Study of seamounts in former USSR Since 1980s – increasing of academic interest to seamounts. Scientific cruises to seamounts. Establishment of scientific collections. Number of taxonomical data and syntheses published P.P.Shirshov institute of Oceanology AS (IORAS) Moscow Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas (IBSS) Sebastopol Maximum of scientific studies - end of 1980s Crisis of seamount studies investigations with collapse of USSR Presently - VNIRO-framework (Russia) Fishery stock survey(Ukraina) Limited scientific activities (in a scope of larger programs)

  19. Nazca and Sala y Gomez Ridges. Endemism and faunistic relationship. Invertebrates. at species level 81 endemic species reported (76 spp. in Parin et. al. , 1997) No endemics east of 83ºW. Only 4 of endemic species known both east and west of 83ºW at generic level 2 supposedly endemic genera (1.6% vs. 3% reported by Parin et al., 1997) - Pseudoplectella Tabachnik, 1990 (Hexactinellidae) - Cribrosoconcha Krylova 1991 ( Bivalvia Septibranchia) Schripsechinus Allison et al., 1967 (Echinoidea) – also reported from San Felix Is Pseudobathytanais Kudinova-Pasternak1990 (Tanaidacea) – recently reported also from southeastern Australian continental slope (Larsen, K. & Heard, R.W. ,2001).

Endemism and faunistic relationship. 24 spp. reported also from other regions: Hawaii (16 spp.) Southern Japan (11 spp.) New Caledonia (5 spp.), Philippines (5 spp.) Australia (4 spp.) High affinity at generic level with Southern Japan (85%) Hawaii (74%) Southeastern Australa (77%) Number of fish genera in the fauna of Nazca &Sala y Gomez ridges (down to 800m depth) that occur in other regions after Parin et al., 1997, with additions

Biogeographical position Based on invertebrate fauna Sala y Gomezian province of IWP region: Sala y Gomez Ridge from 83ºW to ~101ºW (Mironov&Detinova, 1990) Nasca Ridge – part of subcontinental EP unit Based on fish fauna Nazcaplatensis Province of IWP region: Sala y Gomez & Nazca ridges+ (?) sublittoral and upperbathyal zone ofSan Felix, San Ambrosio, Juan Fernandez,Sala y Gomes and Easter Is., excluding coastal shallow-water fauna Panamian Province (EPR) Eastern boundary of IWP region Galapagos Province (EPR) Nazcaplatensis Province (NP) Peruvian Province (EPssR) Central Chilean Province (EPssR) Rapanuiian Province (R) Juan Fernandez Province (EPssR) East boundary of Sala-y-Gomezian province (Parin et al. 1997)

  24. Zoning of sublittoral and upper bathyal(Mironov, 1994) Meridional assimetry in limits of distribution of eastern and western panthalassic species (shifted to east in Atlantic and Pacific and to west in Indian Ocean) Bondary zones - zones outlining areals of western (A.&P) or eastern (IO) pantalassic taxa Exotic regions – with great number of endemics and exotic taxa (absent in adjacent areas) faunistic boundaries between subcontinental and oceanic subordinate regions boundaries of oceanic exotic regions zone of oceanic exotic regions (limit for both western and eastern panthalassic taxa) winter isotherms of surface water 10 and 20ºC (supposed to correspond to boundaries between oceanic subordinate regions
