Abstract

We collected macrobenthic samples in 13 intertidal stations in the Xiangshan Bay, Zhjejiang, in July 2006 to August 2008, and analyzed the macrobenthic community using the Species Richness Index (d), Species Evenness Index (J), Species Diversity Index (D), and Shannon-Weiner Index (H'). Adopted the ABC Curve method and PRIMER5.0 we analyzed the Bray-Curtis similarity matrix and MDS analysis of Xiangshan bay macrobenthos. The investigation showed that the differences in d, J, D and H' of Xiangshan Bay macrobenthos between different sampling stations were highly significant. The results of CLUSTER and MDS show that the macrobenthic community of the Xiangshan Bay constitutes three groups. The results of ABC Curve method indicated that the macrobenthic community affected by pollution and other human activities had been gradually dominated by one or several types of smaller individuals.
