DISTRIBUTION AND BIOMASS OF RUPPIA FILIFOLIA (PHIL.) SKOTTSBERG, (RUPPIACEAE) IN SKYRING SOUND, SUB-ANTARCTIC ECOREGION OF MAGALLANES, CHILE

Ruppia filifolia is the seagrass with the world’s southernmost distribution and a species about which even the most fundamental aspects of its biology and ecology are not known. Presence, bathymetric distribution, and biomass of R. filifolia meadows in Skyring sound (sub-antarctic ecoregio...
