Description

Kirchenpaueria pinnata (Linnaeus, 1758)

Kirchenpaueria pinnata: Ramil & Vervoort, 1992: 158–161, fig. 41A–C; Ansín Agís et al., 2001: 183–188, fig. 74; Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa, 2002: 106–108, fig. 20A–C; Calder, 2012: 42–43, fig. 42; Gravili et al., 2015: 108–110, figs 77A–C.

Material examined. MSM 16 /3, stn GeoB 14802–1, 20°14.791’N, 17°40.188’W, 595 m, 3-XI-2010: one colony on Lophelia pertusa, without gonothecae.

Biology. This species has been reported to grow on a great variety of substrates, mainly on algae but also on rocks, seagrasses, bio-concretions and a wide range of invertebrates; fertile material has been found throughout the year (Ansín Agís et al. 2001; Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002).

Our colony was growing on L. pertusa.

Distribution. Kirchenpaueria pinnata is widely distributed in the East Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, with some isolated records in the West Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans; a detailed review of its geographical distribution was published by Ansín Agís et al. (2001). In West Africa, K. pinnata was collected from Morocco (Patriti 1970, as Kirchenpaueria pinnata var. elegantula), Canary Islands (Izquierdo et al. 1986; Ansín Agís et al. 2001), Mauritania (Gil & Ramil 2017a) and Gambia (Vervoort 1959, as Kirchenpaueria pinnata f. elegantula). Its bathymetric range extends from 0 to 769 m (Ansín Agís et al. 2001; Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002).

The colony studied by us was collected from a depth of 595 m.

Remarks. Kirchenpaueria pinnata is a well-known species and does not require further comments.
