Among the 36 species recorded, a new species, Escharella acuta sp. nov., and a new subspecies, Escharina dutertrei protecta ssp. nov., are described; five other species have been rarely reported or were unknown from the Mediterranean Sea (Copidozoum exiguum, Amphiblestrum flemingii, Schizomavella neptuni, Smittina crystallina, Phylactellipora eximia) . This epibiotic bryozoan fauna differs clearly from shallow-water assemblages and comprises a greater proportion of boreo-atlantic species.14 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc (c) Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃficas (CSIC), 1993http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/esBriozousCorallsMediterrà nia, MarBryozoaCoralsMediterranean SeaEpibiotic bryozoans on deep-water seleractinian corals from the Catalonia slope (western Mediterranean, Spain, France)info:eu-repo/semantics/article1210572012-10-29info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
