Abstract

The brackish water plathelminth fauna of New Brunswick, Canada is compared to European brackish water biotopes. 48 species are identified, 7 new species are described, and 7 species are presented though the material was insufficient for a species description. From 48 brackish water species, 37 (77 %) are amphi-atlantic. Hypotheses for an explanation of such a high similarity are discussed.
