The northwestern Pacific Ocean is one of the hotspots of species richness and one of the high en‑demicity areas of the World Ocean. However, large-scale biodiversity patterns of major deep -sea taxa such as Isopoda and Polychaeta are still poorly studied. The goal of this research is to study the di...
