Abstract

The article investigates the effects of coastal coseismic uplifts and the 2010 Chilean mega-earthquake on intertidal biomarker species. The mean coseismic uplift on the Gulf of Arauco, Santa Maria Island and the Bay of Concepción is measured. Intertidal rocky shore and shallow subtidal edible/commercial species that were found stranded at the uplifted areas include Concholepas concholepas, Fissurella spp, Pyura chilensis, Rhodymeniales Sarcothalia sp. and the Ceramiales Chondracanthus sp.
