Abstract
The Northwest (NW) Pacific is now one of the
better investigated deep-sea areas in the world.
More than 20 expeditions have been performed
in this region on board the RV Vityaz in the midt-wentieth
century (Monin 1983). Subsequently,
the diverse and abundant deep-sea benthic fauna
found in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench (KKT)
and the adjacent abyssal plain, one of the most
productive oceanic regions in the world, and has
been described in numerous publications, e.g. in
volumes of the transactions of the P. P. Shirshov
Institute of Oceanology 1955, 1970, 1971 (Sokolova
1976, 1981). In these volumes, information on
biotic and abiotic environmental parameters of
this unique area, such as the composition of taxa,
first data on hydrology, topography, chemical
characteristics, and organic matter of the bottom
water, and the characteristics of sediments of the
KKT area, are presented. Based on these data, a
checklist of free-living invertebrate species of the
Russian Far Eastern Seas was published (Sirenko
2013). Recently (2010-2016), four international
deep-sea expeditions to the NW Pacific were
performed as German-Russian joint ventures for
the study of the composition of meio-, macro
and megafauna.
