Abstract

A fish-based multimetric index was applied to assess the ecological status of fish fauna in both natural and newly restored seagrass meadows in the Venice lagoon (northern Adriatic Sea, Italy), using natural habitats as reference sites. Fish assemblages were then compared, and community attributes of recreated and natural habitats were evaluated. Ecological status resulted higher in natural meadows, and a multivariate analysis showed that an increase in the relative proportion of seagrass specialists at restored sites could represent an indicator of success of seagrass restoration.

利用鱼类组合确定海草生境恢复的成功标准

以意大利北部亚得里亚海的威尼斯泻湖的天然和新恢复的海草草甸为参考点，采用以鱼类为基础的多指标指数，对其鱼类区系的生态状况进行了评价。然后比较了鱼类组合，并评估了重建栖息地和自然栖息地的群落属性。多因素分析表明，恢复地点海草专家相对比例的增加可以作为海草恢复成功的一个指标。

期刊介绍： Web Ecology (WE) is an open-access journal issued by the European Ecological Federation (EEF) representing the ecological societies within Europe and associated members. Its special value is to serve as a publication forum for national ecological societies that do not maintain their own society journal. Web Ecology publishes papers from all fields of ecology without any geographic restriction. It is a forum to communicate results of experimental, theoretical, and descriptive studies of general interest to an international audience. Original contributions, short communications, and reviews on ecological research on all kinds of organisms and ecosystems are welcome as well as papers that express emerging ideas and concepts with a sound scientific background.
