Abstract Free-living marine oncholaimid nematodes [Adoncholaimus thalassophygas (De Man, 1876)] kept on agar plates were attracted by carbon dioxide which was bubbled into the medium. It is assumed that carbon dioxide concentrations in sediments are stimuli that guide these nematodes to sites of intensive anaerobic decomposition where products of bacterial hydrolysis and fermentation may contribute to the nematodes' nutrition.
