Tanaidaceans are small peracarid crustaceans which occur in all marine habitats, over the full range of depths, and rarely into fresh waters. Yet they have no obligate dispersive phase in their life-cycle. Populations are thus inevitably isolated, and allopatric speciation and high regional diversity are inevitable; cosmopolitan distributions are considered to be unlikely or non-existent. Options for passive dispersion are discussed. Tanaidaceans appear to have first evolved in shallow waters, the region of greatest diversification of the Apseudomorpha and some tanaidomorph families, while in deeper waters the apseudomorphs have subsequently evolved two or three distinct phyletic lines. The Neotanaidomorpha has evolved separately and diversified globally in deep waters, and the Tanaidomorpha has undergone the greatest evolution, diversification and adaptation, to the point where some of the deep-water taxa are recolonizing shallow waters. Analysis of their geographic distribution shows some level of regional isolation, but suffers from inclusion of polyphyletic taxa and a general lack of data, particularly for deep waters. It is concluded that the diversity of the tanaidomorphs in deeper waters and in certain ocean regions remains to be discovered; that the smaller taxa are largely understudied; and that numerous cryptic species remain to be distinguished. Thus the number of species currently recognized is likely to be an order of magnitude too low, and globally the Tanaidacea potentially rival the Amphipoda and Isopoda in diversity.

“…A shallow-water species in the region, recorded at depths 29-77 m from off the western coast of the British Isles, and elsewhere in British waters and the Boreal, Subarctic and Arctic region from 15-349 m (Holdich &Jones, 1983a, b;Holdich & Bird, 1986;Sieg, 1986b).…”

“…In extensive collections of tanaidaceans from depths greater than 200 m in the north-east Atlantic (Bird & Holdich, 1984, 1985, 1989a eight Pseudotanais species have now been recorded, six of them new. Previously, only two species had been collected from sublittoral waters around the British Isles (Holdich &Jones, 1983a, b;Holdich & Bird, 1986) with another four reported from the deep north-east Atlantic and west-European continental shelf (see Table 1). In addition, two undescribed species, each belonging to a new genus within the Pseudotanainae, have been recorded during the present study.…”

Tanaidacea (Crustacea) of the north-east Atlantic: the subfamily Pseudotanainae (Pseudotanaidae) and the family Nototanaidae

Sixteen species of the tanaidacean subfamily Pseudotanainae and three of the family Nototanaidae have been recorded from shallow and deep waters in the north-east Atlantic. Six new species of Pseudotanais, and c.he new genera Mystriocentrus, Parapseudotanais and Bathytanaissus are described. The species Pseudotunais aznis is re-described, and a cladistic analysis of the 'a@nis' species-group is presented. Pseudotanais is a eurybathic genus and individuals of this taxon are common in the region. The Nototanaidae is poorly represented in the deep-sea, and the present record is the first for the Northern Hemisphere.

The tubicolous habit amongst the Tanaidacea (Crustacea, Peracarida) with particular reference to deep‐sea species

Although tanaids are thought of as a largely tubicolous order of peracarids, relatively few species have in fact been recorded from tubes. However, many species of the genus Typhlotanais recently collected from deep‐sea sediments are tubicolous and attach or incorporate a wide range of materials to a mucous tube formed of secretions from glands within the pereonal cavity. These include mud particles, sand grains, sponge spicules and foraminiferan tests. Silica and calcium usually form the dominant ions in the tubes. The various types of tube and their occupants are described and their roles discussed.
