Description: Isopoda Aega sp., possibly Aega bicarinata Leach, 1818.
This specimen was caught using a specimen collector. This particular family of Isopoda, the Aegidae, are temporary parasites on marine fishes. They engorge themselves with food (presumably blood), from their hosts, then dislodge and sit on the bottom to digest their meal.
The specimen seen here is about 5 cm long from head to tail end. Item Type: Image Title: Aega sp. Copyright: Serpent project Species: Aega sp. Behaviour: Probably a temporary parasite, feeding on blood of fish host. The anterior first 3 pairs of pereiopods are hooked to hold on to the host whereas the rest of the pereipods are 'walking legs'.

Description: An amphipod, likely Neohela lamina in its burrow at 1350 m water depth. Brittle stars, probably Ophiacantha bidentata, were common in the area and can be also be seen in the images. Item Type: Image Title: Neohela sp. Copyright: SERPENT Project Species: Neohela (lamina), Ophiacantha bidentata Behaviour: Neohela digs 10 cm deep burrows, in which this specimen can be seen. Similar burrows were common at the Asterix site Site: Atlantic -- Norwegian -- Asterix Site Description: Seafloor Depth (m): 1350 Latitude: 5 deg 17' 25" N Longitude: 67 deg 01' 02" E Countries: Norway -- Norwegian Sector Habitat: Benthic Rig: Transocean Leader Project Partners: StatoilHydro, Oceaneering, Transocean ROV: Magnum 018 Deposited By: Dr Andrew Gates Deposited On: 22 April 2009
