Area: Around the Faroe Islands and the banks south-
west of the Faroe Islands.
Depth range: 78? 135-1083 m (126 stns/80% 200-
700m, 104 stns/67% 200-500 m).
Estimated average bottom temperature: 1-8.6°C (127
stns/81% > 6°C, 98 stns/62% > 7°C).
Water masses: AW (99 stns), AW/AI (47 stns), AI (3
stns), NW/AI (3 stns), NW/AI/AW (5 stns).
Sediment: Most often sand (including shellsand),
gravel, cobbles and stones.
Substrate: Pebbles, other brachiopod species, con-
specific individuals, corals (e.g. Lopheliá), ser-
pulids, shells of bivalves, bryozoans.
Atlantic distribution: Spain; France; Ireland; Shetland;
the Orkneys; the Hebrides; north of Scotland; west
of Sweden; Norway; the Faroes; Iceland; Green-
land, ? northeast of America; ? north of the Azores
(Thomsen 1990).
Atlantic depth range: 10-2450 m, most common less
than 400 m, the shallowest (less than 50 m) are
found in fjords of Greenland, Norway and Sweden,
the deepest (more than 1000 m) off Spain, Scot-
land, Iceland and perhaps northeast America
(Thomsen, 1990).
Conclusion
The following brachiopod species have
been recorded in the BIOFAR material:
Crania anomala, Hemithiris psittacea, Te-
rehratulina retusa, Platidia anomioides,
Dallina septigera and Macandrevia crani-
