Abstract

The fauna collected associated with subfossil Lophelia pertusa and Dendrophyllia cornigera coral samples and hardgroundsfrom Albanian waters between 190–230 m is discussed. Eighty-three benthic species are recorded: 2 Foraminifera, 22 Porifera, 6Cnidaria, 25 Mollusca, 14 Annelida, 1 Arthropoda, 12 Bryozoa, and 1 Echinodermata. Seventy-four species are new records for thepoorly investigated Albanian deep waters.
