| Abstract | This paper will discuss depth distribution analysis of cydippids in the Monterey Bay Submarine Canyon. Cydippids in the Monterey Canyon have been sighted at many different depths and areas. Since 1989, ten different cydippid species, including two new cydippids this year, were recorded on video using a remotely operated vehicle in ten sites within the Monterey Canyon. Because most of the research conducted by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has been concentrated in the middle of the bay, cydippids appeared to be most abundant from the Midwater Research Site in the center of the Monterey Canyon, to the Soquel Canyon in the north. For this project, depth was measured in meters. Distribution was divided into approximate depths ranging in 50 meter increments. Two named genera of cydippids, Hormiphora and Pleurobrachia, have similar distribution from 150 to 950 meters. Unknowns #3 and #4 have the same depth distribution, from the deepest depth distribution recorded, 350 to 1050 meters. The orange-cydippid has a depth distribution of |
