V.I. Gontar
Abstract. Twenty-two species of cyclostome bryozoans, including six new species (in press) are reported from the shelf of the northern and middle Kuril Islands. Of these, 21 species and subspecies represent the first records from this region. The fauna is composed mainly by species typical of relatively cold waters. Most species were found in the epifauna of Cheilostomata, Ctenostomata, and Hydrozoa, but a small number of species were found also on stones.
