Abstract: Paper discusses the fauna associated with an extension mudflat dominated by the lugworm Arenicola marina in an almost totally enclosed bay on Sherkin Island, Co. Cork. Monthly samples by spade and 1 mm sieve were taken from May to October 1980. Species were recorded as 'present', 'frequent', 'common' or 'abundant'.
