Abstract

High-definition underwater-video mapping of Buzzards Bay, MA, photographed a pyrosome tunicate. Positive identification to the species level was not possible because to do so requires a live, undamaged specimen. However, the most probable species is Pyrosoma atlanticum, a common species in temperate waters worldwide, which has not been documented in Buzzards Bay until now.
