The influence of changing food supply on the lipid biochemistry of deep-sea holothurians
The biochemical response of three species of deep-sea holothurian (Oneirophanta
mutabilis, Pseudostichopus villosus, and Psychropotes longicauda) to temporal variation in
food supply at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (PAP;∼ 4850m water depth in the NE Atlantic)
was studied over a period of 22 months. Lipid contents of P. longicauda showed a strong
positive correlation with the contents of lipids in the surficial sediments (0–5mm; Spearman
rank correlation, Rs= 1.0, P< 0.001). O. mutabilis did not show the same trend in total lipid …
