Depth range 2500–4850 m. Most records are at abyssal or lower slope depths. [details]
Etymology Derived from the Greek, Lema, -tos (n)— temper of mind, will, courage, audacity; and the Greek, arete (f)— excellence, goodness, virtue; with reference to the motto on the coat of arms granted to the name ‘Bamber’ depicting two red chevrons between four black fleurs-de-lis on a silver shield, the crest being a red bulls head. The motto, “Fortis et egregious” translates as “Bold and excellent”, terms which can certainly be used to describe our long-standing friend and colleague Roger Bamber. [details]
