Abstract

Three marine and one brackish-water ciliates (Dysteria crassipes $Clapar\grave{e}de$ and Lachmann, 1859; Gruberia calkinsi $Beltr\acute{a}n$, 1933; Pleuronema salmastra Dragesco, 1986; Zosterodasys agamaliev Deroux, 1978) were isolated from Incheon in Korea and their morphologies were investigated using live observation and protargol impregnation.
