Abstract

Abstract

Common diversity indices such as species richness,Shannon index(base 2 or e),Pielou evenness index, Simpson index(1-D or 1/D form),Mar galef index,Berger Parker index,McIntosh index,McIntosh evenness index,Brillouin entropy index,Brillouin evenness index,Fisher and Qstatistic index,used for analyzing phytoplankton community were studied.We compared three phytoplankton species matrix to test these indices. They are species richness dependent ideal data set,cell abundance dependent ideal data set and real phy to plankton data set from the Bohai Sea and the Kuroshio water.The results show that each index has different functions on evaluating the diversity of a phytoplankton community.In general,integ rated using of species richness,Margalef index,Fisher index,Shannon index,Simpson index(1-D form)and Pielou index were fit for analyzing the phytoplankton community.But it should be cautious to use Margalef and Fisher index in analyzing the phytoplankton community.Ageneral guideline for the analysis of phytoplankton community diversity was established.
