Abstract: We present a species list of echinoderms from Araçá Bay, state of São Paulo. Altogether, 863 specimens belonging to 25 species, 19 genera, and 13 families were exhaustively collected during three years in consolidated and non-consolidated substrate. Ophiuroidea was the most representative taxon with 16 species, follow by Asteroidea with four species, Echinoidea with three, and Holothuroidea with two species. The brittle stars Amphiura kinbergi and Ophiothela cf. mirabilis are new records for Araçá Bay. We conf… Show more

“…Recording and publishing biodiversity with high taxonomic quality contributes to improve future efforts in research, conservation, and management, and is necessary to properly assess anthropogenic or natural impacts on marine ecosystems and possible effects on the ecosystem services due to biodiversity loss (Worm et al 2006;Costello et al 2013;Alitto et al 2016). There is a project to build a hydroelectric dam in the main tributary river of Térraba-Sierpe wetland (Pérez 2011).…”

“…Mendes et al (2006) reported Holothuria (Halodeima) grisea in Armação do Itapocoroy Bay with a clumped distribution on rocky bottoms, however in sandy bottom areas, there was a high frequency of isolated specimens (not clumped). This seems to be a pattern along the Brazilian coast (Alves & Cerqueira, 2000;Miranda et al, 2012;Alitto et al, 2016;Leite-Castro et al, 2016). Isostichopus badionotus is an epibenthic holothurian widely distributed on shallow muddy, sandy and seagrass bed, but can also be found in coral reefs (Zacarías-Soto et al, 2013).…”

“…In Santa Catarina, the starfish Echinaster (Othilia) brasiliensis was identified in 29 sites, recorded by 14 scientific references (Table 1). In Brazil, three Othilia species have been recorded, Othilia brasiliensis (Tommasi, 1970b;Hopkins et al, 2003;Netto et al, 2005;Lima & Fernandes, 2009;Gondim et al, 2011Gondim et al, , 2020Miranda et al, 2012;Ventura et al, 2013;Alitto et al, 2016), Othilia guyanensis (Hopkins et al, 2003;Mariante et al, 2010;Ventura et al, 2013) and Othilia echinophorus (Tommasi, 1970b;Alves & Cerqueira, 2000;Hopkins et al, 2003;Gondim et al, 2008Gondim et al, , 2011Gondim et al, , 2020Lima & Fernandes, 2009;Miranda et al, 2012;Ventura et al, 2013). However, according to the phylogenetic study by Lopes et al (2016), O. brasiliensis and O. guyanensis should be synonymized, and the status of O. echinophorus should be reviewed; the authors emphasize the large morphological variability and phenotypic plasticity of the genus Echinaster, and support the raise of the genus Othilia, previously demoted to subgenus (Clark & Tortonese, 1986).…”
