摘要
New records of Paragorgia arborea from the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland show that the species has a coherent distribution from the coast of Norway to Nova Scotia. Offshore, P. arborea is always found at depths greater than about 200 m, following water froin the North Atlantic Current, generally with a temperature of 4-8-degrees C. Two cooccurring colour forms have been reported from most areas. Colonies about 2.5 m high have been documented, and it seems likely that considerably larger ones exist.
