Abstract

Identifying species was mainly on the basis of the pictorial key proposed by Warwick et al. (1998) and a lot of literatures of the nematode taxonomists. Classification of free-living marine nematodes was made according to the systematic proposed by De Ley and Blaxter (2004), Schmidt-Rhaesa (2014) and Bezerra et al. (2020).
