- •
A total of 34 macrofaunal species were identified in the intertidal zones around Fildes Peninsula, King George Island.
- •
Macrofaunal assemblages at sand-bottom sites belonged to one group while those at gravel-bottom sites were divided into three groups.
- •
Considering functional group of macrofauna, detritivorous and planktophagous groups had the highest values of abundance and biomass, respectively.
- •
The most important environmental factors correlated with macrofauna were contents of sediment chlorophyll a, phaeophorbide and organic matter.
