Abstract
To study the community of mollusks associated to Thalassia testudinum, monthly samplings were made between January and December 2002 in four localities of the Bay of Mochima. A PVC corer, of 14.8 cm of diameter, was used for sampling; eight monthly replicates were taken in each locality. Each core was sifted in a sieve of 1mm of mesh opening, the mollusks were fixed in 8% formaldehide solution in sea water. 473 mollusks were analyzed and 40 species, belonging to 29 families, were identified. Mangle Quemao displayed the greater abundance, whereas Varadero the minor. Shannon-Weaver diversity average ranged between 2.02+/-0.43 bits.ind(-1) (Mangle Quemao) and 1.42+/-0.95 bits.ind(-1) (Toporo). ANOVA analysis showed significant differences in abundances of mollusks among localities.
[委内瑞拉Mochima湾与海棠(Thalassia testudinum, Bank et Köning 1805)有关的软体动物群落]。
2002年1月至12月,在莫奇马湾的四个地点进行了月度取样,以研究与海棠有关的软体动物群落。取样时使用直径14.8厘米的聚氯乙烯盖;每个地方每月进行8次重复。每个岩心在孔径为1mm的筛网中筛选,软体动物固定在8%甲醛溶液的海水中。共鉴定软体动物473种,隶属于29科40种。Mangle Quemao表现出更大的丰度,而Varadero则表现出较小的丰度。Shannon-Weaver多样性平均值在2.02+/-0.43 bit .ind(-1)和1.42+/-0.95 bit .ind(-1)之间。方差分析显示,不同地区软体动物的丰度存在显著差异。
