Abstract
Three marine and one brackish-water ciliates (Dysteria crassipes Claparède and Lachmann, 1859; Gruberia calkinsi Beltrán, 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.
