広島県から記録されているクモヒトデ類（棘皮動物門）

抄録

Ophiuroids were collected from intertidal and infralittoral zones in the Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan from 2021, by hand-picking during low tides and skin diving. This survey yielded 17 species from seven families and three orders. Additionally, based on literature information, three other species have been recorded from the subtidal zone of the Hiroshima Prefecture, bringing the total number of ophiuroid species inhabiting low tide zones in this prefecture to 20. Although this study did not cover the in circalittoral to continental shelf area, the identified species are similar to those found in most western parts of the Sea of Japan.
