The biology of Scopelocheirus hopei, a deep-sea (500 m) scavenging amphipod that lives on the continental slope of Mediterranean canyons, was studied. Animals were collected using a baited trap. A new method was developed for reproducibly measuring the

The scavenger crustaceans Natatolana neglecta (Hansen, 1890) (Isopoda: Cirolanidae) and Scopelocheirus hopei (Costa in Hope, 1851) (Amphipoda: Scopelocheiridae), along with several other peracarid crustaceans , were recorded on demersal fish species in

A new species of scopelocheirid amphipod, Scopelocheirus onagawae, was found during an ecological study of the marine scavenging amphipods in Onagawa Bay, Northeastern Japan. This species is closely similar to S. hopei and S. polymedus in the elongate
