Abstract: Paper examines the distribution of Halacaridae among different micro-habitats within emersed macroalgal clumps, and investigates whether closely related species are spatially segregated. Samples were collected from four similar sites on the northern coast of Ireland, one in Mulroy Bay, Co. Donegal and three in the Strangford Narrows, Co. Down.
