Abstract

The study of deep-sea barnacles collected by Russian expeditions to the North Atlantic and adjacent areas of the Arctic Ocean revealed two barnacles species in the foulings of sunken vessels, viz., Trianguloscalpellum ovale (Hoek, 1883) and Verum striolatum (G.O. Sars, 1877) that were not previously known in deep-sea foulings. Descriptions of these species are given. The role of barnacles in deep-sea fouling communities is discussed.
