Porto MV, MSM01-03, stn 167, 1 ind. ( DBUA 001094.01). Ecology and distribution. Ophiomusium lymani is a bathyal and abyssal species with a wide distribution in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans ( Alva & Vadon 1989 ). In the Atlantic it has been reported from SE Iceland south to Cap Blanc at depths ranging from 651 to 4829 m ( Paterson 1985 ). The single record from the Gulf of Cadiz is within its known bathymetric range. Only one specimen was collected from Porto MV among the frenulate (Polychaeta: Siboglinidae ) fields that cover the crater.
