Abstract

Echinoderm samples were collected from Hormuz Island in 2010–2011. The sampling was based on a qualitative survey, conducted in intertidal areas. The collected specimens were transferred to a laboratory for identification according to the valid literature. In this study, ten species of echinoderms were collected, including: six Asteroidea (Astropecten monoacanthus,Luidia hardwicki,Aquilonastra iranica,Aquilonastra samyni,Astropecten polyacanthus pheragmorus,Astropecten polyacanthus polyacanthus); two Ophiuroidea (Macrophiothrix elongate,Ophiocoma scalopendarina); and three Echinoidea (Echinometra mathaei,Echinodiscus bisperforatus,Echinodiscus auritus).
