摘要

Abstract

Seasonal and spatial variations in the macrobenthic community in an intertidal gulfweed field off Naozhou Island were investigated from April 2011 to January 2012. We identified 407 macrobenthic organism species: 64 macroalgae (15.72% of total species); 123 Arthropoda (30.22%); 107 Mollusca (26.29%); 67 Annelida (16.46%); 15 Cnidaria (3.69%); 14 Echinodermata (3.44%); 8 Porifera (1.97%); 4 Chordata (0.98%); 2 Urochorda (0.49%); and 1 each of Echiura

Sipunculida and Angiospermae (0.25%). Arthropods

mollusks

annelids

and macroalgae were four main groups in the benthic organism community and accounted for 88.70% of the total species. In terms of abundance of biomass

there were 15 dominant species

including 8 macroalgal

5 mollusk and 2 arthropod species. The species diversity indices ranged from 1.21 to 4.42 with an average of 2.80; the annual average of evenness was 0.47. Species richness indices varied from 2.97 to 7.24 (average 4.97); and Simpson dominance indices varied from 0.20 to 0.92 in annual average of 0.75. Macroalgal distribution showed clear vertical zonation and seasonal changes. The number of macroalgal species found in the high tide zone

upper middle tide zone

middle tide zone

lower middle tide zone

low tide zone

and below low tide zone were 1

and 32

respectively. Biomass among the benthic organisms

macroalgae and crustaceans had significant positive correlation (

0.05) with the coefficients of 0.802

0.894

and 0.592

respectively. Macroalgal biomass showed a clearly negative correlation with the concentration of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) (

=0.486

0.05). During the winter and spring

when macroalgae were growing vigorously

DIN reached the lowest level in seawater and displayed a clear weak correlation between macroalgal growth and the nutrient concentration.
