Acknowledgements
We wish to thank our colleagues in the Zoological Institute RAS for the identification of species
without which this communication would not be possible. Financial support for the work was
obtained from the RFFI foundation (N 96-04-48111), as well as from the German Ministry of
Education, Science, Research and Technology in the framework of projects 03FIIGUS,
03FI4GUS, 03PL009A and "Laptev Sea System". This contribution is publication no. 1343 of
the Alfred-Wegener-Institut Bremerhaven.
