Resumen

Ascidians from Tossa de Mar (Girona). I. Generalities, faunistics and taxonomy
From November 1984 to January 1986, the ascidian populations of Tossa de Mar (Girona, NE of Spain) were studied from a faunistic, biological and ecological point of view. Only the faunistic and taxonomical results of this work are presented in this article. The inventory leads to a listing of 56 ascidian species. Among these, Cratostigma campoyi, new species, and Aplidium hyalinum, reported for the first time for the Western Mediterranean;are remarkable. Systematic notes on some interesting species are given.
