This study aims to describe the faunal composition and community structure of the world\'s deepest whale fall and the first found in the South Atlantic Ocean. This discovery adds very important data on the poorly known whale-fall biogeography and provides new insights on the ecological role of the \"bone-eating\" worm Osedax (Polychaeta: Siboglinidae) on associated biota. The whale fall was serendipitously found in April 24th, 2013 at the base of São Paulo Ridge at 4204 m depth in the SW Atlantic Ocean using the HOV Shinkai 6500 during the Brazil-Japan joint Iatá-Piúna Oceanographic Expedition on board RV Yokosuka (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, JAMSTEC). Detailed video surveys of the carcass were made using high-defi...
