Abstract
    A general commentary on the Ross Sea benthic fauna establishes a basis for dividing the fauna sampled into three major assemblages and a number of minor assemblages, linked with substrate characteristics. These major groups are the Deep Shelf Mixed Assemblage, the Deep Shelf Mud Bottom Assemblage, and the Pennell Bank Assemblage. The Ross Sea benthos is dominantly sessile in character and associated with the availability of hard substrate. The unique character of the antarctic benthos is discussed.
