Abstract

The article presents a report on the findings of representatives of frenulate pogonophorans Nereilinum murmanicum in the northern and central parts of the Barents Sea, which significantly expands the range of this species and provides guidance on its distribution in this basin. Here we present the coordinates of new finds with an indication of the depth. Find points were associated with data on known and potential hydrocarbon deposits.
