Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins (2010, background): “Similarly, Heifetz (2000) found that some species, namely redfish and atka mackerel [Pleurogrammus monopterygerygius (Pallas 1810)], were the most common species caught with gorgonian, cup and hydrocorals, and that there were different species caught with soft corals.”
Habitat-forming cold-water corals show affinity for seamounts in the New Zealand region (2011, background): “…distribution of the major cold-water coral species in a particular region or the entire seafloor jurisdiction of a country (e.g. NE Pacific and USA; Heifetz 2002, Etnoyer & Morgan 2005, Lumsden et al. 2007) is desirable in order to understand the present and possible future impacts of…”
Distribution of deep-water gorgonian corals in relation to benthic habitat features in the Northeast Channel (Atlantic Canada) (2004, background): “Deep-water gorgonians are found in all of the world’s oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, commonly at depths between 200 m and 1,000 m (Broch 1935, 1957; Madsen 1944; Tendal 1992; Mistri and Ceccherelli 1994; Heifetz 2002 ), but have been recorded from depths as great as 4,000 m in the Northeast Atla”

Biodiversity of the white coral bank off Cape Santa Maria di Leuca (Mediterranean Sea): An update (2010, background): “In this regard, several observations report that the Atlantic rockfish, such as those of the genus Sebastes and Sebastolobus, are preferentially distributed in deep-water coral habitats (Pearcy et al., 1989; Heifetz, 2002; Husebø et al., 2002; Krieger and Wing, 2002; Costello et al., 2005).”
Benthic invertebrates that form habitat on deep banks off southern California, with special reference to deep sea coral (2006, background): “…scleractinians (stony corals), and hydrocorals, are of particular interest because they are often long-lived and slow-growing (Andrews et al., 2002; Heifetz, 2002), poorly studied (Etnoyer and Morgan1), and in certain situations vulnerable to human activities (e.g., mobile fishing gear) (Watling…”
Age, growth and radiometric age validation of a deep-sea, habitat-forming gorgonian (Primnoa resedaeformis) from the Gulf of Alaska (2002, unknown): “These corals have been documented as providing the substrate for habitats with high biodiversity (Heifetz, 2002; Krieger & Wing, 2002), which includes juveniles and adults of commercially important rockfishes (e.”
Are deep-water corals important habitats for fishes? (2005, background): “and Sebastolobus alascanus) and Atka mackerel ( Pleurogrammus monopterygius) were the most common species of economic importance collected with gorgonian, cup, and hydrocorals, while fl ounders and gadids were the most common species associated with Gersemia sp., a soft coral ( Heifetz 2002 ).”
Coral habitat in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska: depth distribution, fine-scale species associations, and fisheries interactions (2006, background): “According to NMFS groundfish trawl survey data, corals are widespread and the Aleutian Islands harbor the highest species diversity and abundance of deep-sea corals in Alaskan waters (Heifetz 2002).”
