Description:
85 species of polychaetes were collected, 72 of them were determined to species level. One genus (Palposyllis n. g.), four species (Pionosyllis gorringensis n. sp., Palposyllis prosostoma n. sp., Potamethus filiformis n. sp., Potamethus breviuncatus n. sp.), and one subspecies (Ophelina delapidans longicephala n. subsp.) were described as new taxa. The majority of the species collected during this cruise have their distribution in the Atlantic Ocean or are more widely distributed. Peisidice bermudensis was found the second time after its original description. Lepidastenia brunnea and Isolda whydahensis never have been found as far north off the coast of Portugal. The interstitial living species Pisione remota and Hesionides arenaria, usually common in shallow waters, were found in deeper water (72 m and 120-180 m) for the first time.
