Free-living Nematoda is one of the most important metazoan groups in the marine realm due to its abundance, diversity, and biomass. Nematodes are broadly distributed from littoral to deep-sea environments (Lambshead, 2004;Ramalho et al., 2014;Sharma, Baguley, Bluhm, & Rowe, 2011) and influence the energy transfer, organic matter remineralization, and bioturbation of the sea bed (Giere, 2009). In marine food webs, nematodes are extremely important because they provide a critical food source for macrofauna and juvenile fishes, thus contributing to the energy flux (Danovaro,
