Publication
The spatial zonation of macrobenthic fauna in the core region of Zhanjiang Mangrove Nature Reserve was studied with
two transects vertical to the shoreline. The first transect was near Deyao Village where three faunal zones of the mangrove swamp
could be divided into the following types from the high tide part to the low tide part: the Assiminea lutea-Uca arcuata- Paracleistostoma
crassipilum zone, the Cleistostoma dilatatum-Macrophthalmus erato-Littoraria melanostoma zone, and the Paracleistostoma
depressum-Cerithidae cingulata zone. Mollusck and crustacean exhibited the highest individual density in this transect.
Mollusck mainly influenced the dynamics of community biomass as well as the species diversity index. In the second transect near
Hongzhai Village, the following four faunal zones could be determined: the Littoraria melanostoma-Pseudoringicula sinensis-
Ceratonereis burmensis zone, the Assiminea lutea-Cleistostoma dilatatum zone with a dominant species belonging to the Ellobiidae,
Upogebia sp.-Paracleistostoma depressum zone, and the Metaplax sheni-Cerithidae cingulata zone. The crustacean showed
the highest individual density in this transect. Similar to the Deyao transect, dynamics of community biomass and the species diversity
index of the Hongzhai transect were mainly influenced by mollusck. By hierarchical clustering and nonmetric multidimensional
scaling, the macrobenthic fauna communities could be divided into three and four groups in the Deyao and Hongzhai transects, respectively.
These groups corresponded to different types of vegetation of the mangrove swamp. Taken together, our observations indicated
that the spatial zonation of the macrobenthic fauna was mainly affected by the characteristics of the mangrove community,
sediment characteristics and the tidal line.
