Abstract

Ten species of echinoids are known to occur off Oregon. Three distinct bathymetric groups are recognized: Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, S. franciscanus, and Dendraster excentricus occur in shallow waters from intertidal down to about 65 m; S. echinoides occurs on the outer continental shelf, and Brisaster latifrons and Allocentrotus fragilis occur on the outer shelf and upper slope at depths of about 70–840 m; and Aëropsis fulva, Sperosoma giganteum, Urechinus loveni, and Ceratophysa rosea are found in deep water from depths of 2090 to 3000 m. Bathymetric ranges are extended for six species and geographic ranges are extended for five species.
