A series of macrobenthic samples are currently being collected from the
Faroe-Shetland Channel to the West and North of Shetland, U.K. and as
with previous surveys in this region I shall be processing the polychaete
component. Previous sample sets (from depths of 100m - 2,200m) have
thown up many identification uncertainties. The Oweniidae and
Flabelligeridae in particular, amongst many other families, are culprits of
containing several taxa that I am unable to name. Consequently this time
round I hope to determine where shortfalls in identification, particularly
with respect to these two families, are a consequence of gaps in my
collection of the literature and truly undescribed species. Any
references that could help would be gratefully recieved.
