| Abstract | The samples of Prasiola crispa for study of associated fauna were collected on the rocks in the region adjacent to the penguin rookery at the Henri Arctowski Polish Research Station at (Admiralty Bay, Antarctic). The preliminary results showed that Tardigrades and Nematodes are the most abundant organisms of the associated fauna of P. crispa, being found in extremely high density. Others invertebrates were found in low densities (<70 ind.cm–2) along with Acari, Rotifer and Collembola. The specific identifications are still underway, however, the results obtained so far are suggesting that the density and the diversity of the microfauna of P. crispa is strongly conditioned by ice-melt water and the degree of humidity in the thallus of this alga. |
