摘要

Abstract

The community structure of intertidal macrobenthos in Changdao Archipelago (north of Shandong Peninsula

between Bohai Bay and the northern Yellow Sea) was examined based on samples collected from 14 stations in five transects in June 2007. Three stations corresponding to high

medium and low tidal areas were set up for each transect. A total of 68 macrobenthic species were found in the research region

most of which belonged to Mollusca and Crustacea. The average abundance and biomass of the macrobenthos was 1 383 ind./m2 and 372.41 g/m2

respectively. The use of an arbitrary similarity level of 20% resulted in identification of five groups among the 14 stations in the research region. There were remarkable differences in the biomass

abundance and Shannon-Wiener diversity index of the different sediments. Specifically

the order of biomass was rocky shores > gravel > mud-sand > coarse sand > stiff mud

while the order of abundance was rocky shores > coarse sand > mud-sand > gravel > stiff mud

and that of the diversity index was mud-sand > gravel > stiff mud > rocky shores > coarse sand. The above results revealed that the sediment type was the most important factor affecting the structure of the macrobenthic community of the intertidal zone.
