Abstract Abstract
The dataset of free-living marine nematodes of San Antonio Bay is based on sediment samples collected in February 2009 during doctoral theses funded by CONICET grants. A total of 36 samples has been taken at three locations in the San Antonio Bay, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina on the coastal littoral at three tidal levels. This presents a unique and important collection for benthic biodiversity assessment of Patagonian nematodes as this area remains one of the least known regions. In total 7,743 specimens of free-living marine nematodes belonging to two classes, eight orders, 37 families, 94 genera and 104 species were collected.
Keywords: Nematoda, Enoplea, Chromadorea, South Atlantic
Introduction
This is the first study on nematodes performed on a sub-Antarctic salt marsh along the coast of Río Negro Province, Argentina. This site has a high biodiversity and was declared a Protected Natural Area N°2.670 of the province of Río Negro in 1993 as well as an international reserve of the hemispheric network of Shorebird Reserve within the Wetlands program for the Americas. However, it is also an urban center where economic, industrial and tourist activities take place. The objectives of the study were to collect, identify and discover the structure and diversity of the nematode community of San Antonio Bay. The coverage (Figure 1) of this dataset includes two classes: Chromadorea (76%) and Enoplea (24%); eight orders: Monhysterida (39%), followed by Enoplida (23%) and Chromadorida (19%) as main occurrences; and thirty-seven families (see Figure 1).

Spatial coverage
General spatial coverage: San Antonio Bay, Río Negro Province, Argentina (Figure 2). For this study three sites were selected: “Ciudad” (A), located in the north of the bay; “Baliza Camino” (B), located off the mouth of the bay of San Antonio and “Banco Perdices” (C), located 12 km south of “Las Grutas”. At each sampling site, three tidal levels were chosen: upper-littoral, high tide, salt-marsh habitat (u); middle littoral, mean tide, un-vegetated habitat (m) and low littoral, low tide, un-vegetated habitat (l) (Figure 3).

Methods
Sampling description: At each site and level location, four replicates (20 ml) were sampled with a PVC syringe (60 ml, inner diameter 2.9 cm) and separated by a distance of 5–10 m each: four for marine nematodes counts, two for organic matter and two for sediment analyses. Each sample was fixed in situ, with a solution of 5% formaldehyde in filtered sea water with the addition of Rose Bengal tint. Marine nematodes were extracted from samples using the elutriation/decantation LUDOX TM (colloidal silica polymer) method at a specific gravity of 1.15, quantifying only organisms passing through a 500 µm mesh and then retained by a 63 µm mesh. Samples were evaporated to anhydrous glycerol and permanent slides made (Somerfield and Warwick 1996). The taxonomic classification followed proposed by De Ley and Blaxter (2004). For the identification of species international keys (Platt and Warwick 1983, Platt and Warwick 1988, Warwick et al. 1998, Lorenzen 1994, Abebe et al. 2006) and taxonomical papers (Pastor de Ward 1978, 1980, 1984a, b, c, d, e, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1995a, b, 1996, 1998a, b, c, 1999, Pastor de Ward and Lo Russo 2009, Villares and Pastor de Ward 2012, Lo Russo et. al. 2012, Villares et al. 2013, Pastor de Ward et al. 2013, Lo Russo et. al. 2015) were used. Holotypes and paratypes are deposited in the Collection of Nematodes of the Centro Nacional Patagónico (CENPAT-CONICET), Chubut, Argentina recognized as National Service of Biological Data of Argentina and included in their web page from 2011 (http://www.gbif.org/dataset/06df03fc-8973-490c-af74-089fffae9e24; http://www.gbif.org/dataset/d592283b-b00e-4a39-9499-289842ccddf1).

Study extent description: The San Antonio Bay marine nematodes is a dataset that gives new insights on the taxonomic and geographic distribution of south Atlantic marine nematodes, covering an under-explored region of the southern Atlantic coasts. This is the first study on marine nematodes in this site. This dataset presents species occurrences and species richness of the individual free-living marine nematodes present at three coastal areas (“Ciudad”, “Baliza Camino”, “Banco Perdices”) of the San Antonio Bay at three different tidal levels (upper, middle and low-littoral).
In total 7,443 specimens of free-living marine nematodes belonging to two classes, eight orders, 37 families, 94 genera and 140 species were collected.

Quality control description: The geo-referencing of all specimens were recorded using a Garmin eTrex Legend GPS (WGS84 Datum) with an accuracy of less than 10 m and with at least 5 satellites. The taxonomic identification of specimens, scientific names, and their current accurate spelling were verified by C. Pastor de Ward, a free-living marine nematode specialist. Other post-validation procedures (including geographic coordinate format, congruence between collection and identification dates, absence of ASCII anomalous characters) were checked using the Darwin Test software (http://www.gbif.es/darwin_test/Darwin_Test_in.php).
