Abstract/Summary
In September 1991,during initial exploration of the wreck of the cargo ship Francois Vieljeux in the Bay of Biscay, we recovered vestimentiferan tube worms and bivalve molluscs, (Idasola sp). Both animals are known to contain chemoautotrophic symbiotic bacteria. This is the first report of giant tube worms from the east Atlantic and the first time they have been recorded in a habitat other than a vent or seep site.
