ABSTRACT
The bryozoan fauna of Brazil has been little studied. Following Ernst Marcus, who was responsible for numerous papers on Brazilian bryozoans (e.g. Marcus 1937, 1938, 1941, 1949, 1955), very few taxonomic studies have been published (Braga 1967, 1968, Buge 1979). Ecological studies have been more frequent, sometimes recording a small number of bryozoan species (e.g. Omena & Souza 1999).
