| Abstract |
Isopods are a common, diverse, and abundant group of the littoral and estuarine invertebrate fauna. This study presents a survey on the species of isopods found on the Minho River estuary, Iberian Peninsula, using plankton net, glass eel fishing bycatch, grab sampler, and sein net sampling methods. A total of 248 specimens were analysed belonging to five families with 13 species in 10 genera. Brief diagnosis, ecological notes, species distributions, figures and a key to species identifications are provided aiming to provide taxonomic support on future projects on this area. |
