We investigated the effects of contrasting surface primary production on the benthic invertebrate megafauna at four sites on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The sites, designated NW, NE, SW and SE, were located to the west and east of the Ridge axis and to the north and south of the Charlie–Gibbs Fracture Z...
