Abstract
espanolLas asociaciones de macrobentos con presencia de mitilidos de la bahia San Julian (Patagonia austral, Argentina) fueron muestreadas durante el verano de 2007 para conocer su estructura, diversidad y distribucion, y para determinar su relacion con diversos factores ambientales. El estudio fue realizado en 3 localidades con diferentes tipos de sustrato y distinta pendiente. El muestreo en cada localidad se realizo en una transecta abarcando diferentes niveles del intermareal y del submareal somero. Se hallaron un total de 46 especies pertenecientes principalmente a moluscos (20), crustaceos (12) y poliquetos (10). Se identificaron 3 asociaciones principales: la asociacion Platynereis-Clunio-Darina se distribuyo en el nivel intermareal superior de sustrato fangoso y pendientes suaves y presento los valores mas bajos de numero de especies, de diversidad especifica y de abundancia de individuos; la asociacion Mytilus-Perumytilus se distribuyo en los niveles intermareales medio e inferior en sustrato rocoso o en sustrato fangoso con abundantes elementos de soporte y pendiente media; presento diversidad especifica intermedia y la mayor abundancia de individuos; la asociacion Aulacomya-Exosphaeroma presento el mayor numero de especies y la mayor diversidad, pero baja abundancia de individuos, encontrandose relacionado a sustratos rocosos o sustratos fangosos con elementos de soporte y baja pendiente del submareal superior. La riqueza especifica y la diversidad de estas asociaciones aumentan desde el nivel superior del intermareal hacia el submareal, posiblemente por efecto de un gradiente complejo de estres, principalmente ocasionado por la desecacion y exposicion a temperaturas extremas.
