About Cryptosula.nl

    This web site provides information on marine and estuarine invertebrates of The Netherlands. The information consists of references to publications, and colour photographs. Almost without exception the species considered have been recorded from coastal waters, i.e. within a few miles from the coast. Some groups are treated exhaustively, all species being mentioned, other groups await a more complete treatment.
