Abstract

The malacofauna associated with a maerl bottom was studied, at 9 m in depth, in the Ría de Ferrol (Galicia, NW Spain). A total of 2663 specimens belonging to 66 species, were collected. The gastropods are the most represented with a specific richness of 48 and a 85,96% dominancy. Each species and the composition of the population are discussed, and we compare our data with those available in the bibliography about these corallinacea algae biocoenosis.
