Drifting in the abyss: an in-situ observation of swimming in Psychropotes (Psychropotidae, Elasipodida, Holothuroidea) Open
Holothuroids are conspicuous members of megabenthic assemblages, particularly in the deep sea. Some are capable of swimming and while this behaviour was once considered uncommon, deep-sea exploration and technological advances have increas…
