First record of black corals (Antipatharia) in shallow coastal waters of northern Chile by means of underwater video

ABSTRACT This record is the first report of black corals (Antipatharia) in shallow waters of the continental coast of Chile, and extends their geographical range in shallow waters of the upper continental shelf of South America by ~3000 km from Ecuador (~1°S) to Coquimbo, Chile (~29°S). Specimens we...
