Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Early life stages of cephalopod species were identified from zooplankton and nekton samples collected near seamounts of the subtropical eastern North Atlantic, especially at the Atlantis-Meteor Seamount Chain. Samples were taken during two recent German oceanographic expeditions into the region. In total, 1811 specimens, mainly posthatchlings and juveniles, were found, comprising 26 families and 49 species. A comprehensive species list is given as well as detailed illustrations of the major forms. A key was developed for an easy identification of the early life stages of oceanic cephalopods that dominated the cephalopod fauna from seamount regions of the subtropical eastern North Atlantic.
