North of the convergence the lowest concentrations are ml/L; the minimum layer lies at 350-600 m. Eltanin Cruise 8 was the only cruise to work the waters covered by the 25°W sections. During that cruise twenty-five 3-meter IKMT tows were made below 500 m in depths normally inhabited by B. abyssicola. Of these, six tows were successful in capturing this species. These captures, made between 22° and 29°W, are plotted on the 25°W sec- tions. Four captures, with five specimens, were taken between 1490 and 1922 m; two specimens were taken in nets that fished below 2500 m: one larva at 2562 m and one adult at 2743 m. These two specimens probably were taken somewhat shallower. All captures were made in water of less than 1° C: one between ° and 1° C, three between 0° and ° C and two below 0° C. All captures were in salinities less than , in densities greater than sigma-t=, and in oxygen concentrations.
