First report of marine Gastrotricha from Chilean beaches

ABSTRACT A recent study of the meiofauna from several intertidal sites along the coast of Chile yielded several gastrotrich specimens. The number of specimens was too small to assess the ecology of the individual species; however, as there are no published records of Gastrotricha in Chile until rece...
