Rare and interesting deep-sea ﬁnds of the buccinid gastropods (Gastropoda: Buccinidae) from the Sea of Okhotsk
In the Sea of Okhotsk, in the Deryugin Basin (depth more than 1500 meters) and in the area of Paramushir Island and close to the underwater gas seep (depth 770 m, concentration of dissolved methane in water exceeds background in 1300 times), using a remotely operated underwater vehicle «Comanche», eight species of the buccinid gastropods were collected: Ancistrolepis grammatus (Dall, 1907), Buccinum kinukatsugi Habe et Ito, 1968, Buccinum pemphigus Dall, 1907, Latisipho siphonoides (Dall, 1913), Neptunea convexa Goryachev, 1987, Neptunea insularis (Dall, 1895), Neptunea intersculpta (Sowerby, 1899), and Lussivolutopsius memmi Kantor, 1990.
