Abstract
The soft-bottom biota of subtidal areas of Paterson Inlet, Stewart Island, is described on the basis of data collected during cruises (1977 and 1979) in search of Braichiopoda. Two associations are recognised within the areas sampled, and their structure is compared with that of soft-bottom biotas elsewhere in New Zealand. The widespread occurrence of patch-forming bryozoans (especially Cinctipora elegans) on sandy gravels on the southern New Zealand shelf IS recognised.Keywords
