Abstract

Abstract

A total of 862 biobenthic species are found in the intertidal zone Fujian islands,which belong to 734 species of animals,128 species of algae.Jaccard's similarity index of species is measured,and the distribution of the benthic community is studied using hierarchical clustering(WPGMA) and polarordination.The result indicates that the benthic communities are divided into three classifications:the estuary type,harbour type and wide sea type of the community.The distribution of the benthic community is related to the island location and its environment.The salinity and motive power of the water are major factors which influence the community.
