Description

Taula de dades de l'article "Inventory of the free-living marine nematode specie from el Bibane Lagoon (Tunisia)" S. Jouili, F. Semprucci, A. Nasri, I. Saidi, E. Mahmoudi, N. Essid

Sampling Description

Study Extent

El Bibane, the second largest lagoon in Tunisia that offers a wide variety of natural habitats for benthonic populations

Sampling

At each sampling station, meiofauna were collected in four replicates using plexiglas hand-cores (area 10 cm2), preserved in formaldehyde solution buffered sea-water (5% formaldehyde), and stained with Rose Bengal (0.2 g.l-1). In the laboratory, the samples were washed through 1 mm and 40 μm sieves and the fractions retained by the 40 μm sieve were centrifuged with Ludox-HS40. Randomly nematodes from each sample were mounted on permanent slides for taxonomical identification

Method steps

  1. Genus level was identified using the pictorial keys of Platt and Warwick (1983, 1988) and Warwick et al. (1998), the NeMys online identification key, and literature therein (Guilini et al., 2017). The list of nematode species reported is according to Hodda (2011) for the taxonomic status and NeMys website for the relative geographical global distribution. The distribution of the Tunisian nematode species is reported according to Boufahja et al. (2014).
