Abstract
Among the biota collected during two surveys of deep-water dumping sites off the Israeli coast, four species of interest were identified: the bobtail squid, Neorossia caroli caroli , the deep-sea asteroid, Brisingella coronata , and the tonguesole, Symphurus ligulatus , are new for the Levant Sea, while the four-horned octopus, Pteroctopus tetracirrhus , is a new record for the Israeli coast. The growing list of bathybenthic species, resulting from expanding research efforts, challenges the conventional view of the Levant deep-sea biodiversity.
