New
information on swimming behavior of four species of deep-sea holothurians has been obtained
using the research submersibles Johnson-Sea-Link (Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution)
and Pisces V (University of Hawaii, HURL Program). Hansenothuria benti Miller and Pawson
and Enypniastes eximia Theel were studied off the Bahama Islands, Paelopatides retifer Fisher
off the Hawaiian Islands, and Pelagothuria natatrix Ludwig off the Galapagos Islands. Video
recordings were made of swimming behavior, and individuals of all species were collected at the
time of observation. Florida Atlantic University.
