Holothuroidea (Echinodermata) from reef ecosystems on the central coast of Alagoas, Brazil, with a new record to South Atlantic Ocean
Knowledge of the Holothuroidea in Brazil, particularly on the coral reefs from the Brazilian northeast coast, is still sparse. The present paper describes the distribution and ecological aspects of the species of Holothuroidea in the shallow reef ecosystems of Alagoas State. This study was carried o...
