Marine Rotifera from Ikka Fjord, SW Greenland. With the description of a new species from the rare mineral ikaite
The rotifers from Ikka Fjord, SW Greenland are described. The descriptions are based on light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy of whole mounted animals and of isolated trophi. A new marine rotifer, Notholca ikaitophila n. sp., was discovered inside the ikaite columns and from ikaite sand dur...
