Description
A set of records of intertidal invertebrates (supra, meso and infralittoral) is presented, collected at four sites in Seno Taraba (Magallanes Region). The data set corresponds to 2,754 specimens, representing seven phyla and 24 taxa.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 176 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
The intertidal benthic macrofauna were collected manually directly from the shoreline along transects perpendicular to the coastline on each beach (T1-T4).
| Study Extent | The study was carried out during a January campaign between the 18th and 19th of 2013 (austral summer) on four beaches located on the eastern side of the interior of Taraba Sound, and a beach located on the west side of the Sound, north of the Magellan Region, southern region of Chile. |

Method step description:
- In each transect samples were taken at specific sampling points determined by the beach profile between high and low tide level (supra-meso-infralittoral, N1-N3). In each sampling level, three random samples (R1-R3) were collected using a 0.25 m2 quadrat (50 x50 cm) for each level of each beach. The benthic macrofauna collected were separated and fixed with 5% formalin and preserved in 95% ethanol buffered with sodium borate at saturation on board the vessel.
