Subtidal benthic polychaetes (Annelida) of the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica

One hundred and forty six species of polychaetes belonging to 35 families were identified from material collected from 25 subtidal sample sites in the Gulf of Nicoya. One hundred and twenty five of these species were present in multireplicate collections taken seasonally at four stations with contra...
