meiofauna
This term is a specialized biological collective noun used primarily in marine biology and ecology. It refers to a specific size class of organisms, typically those measuring between 45 micrometers and 1 millimeter, which are too small to be called macrofauna but larger than microfauna.
As a collective noun describing a community or a group of organisms, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form because the word itself encompasses the entire population of interstitial organisms within a given sample or environment.
