Biodiversity of Marine Benthic Organism Along Bangsaen Beach, Chon Buri Province
Abstract
Biodiversity of marine benthic organisms along Bangsaen Beach, Chon Buri Province were studied for 5 stations with 6 times of February, April, June, August, October and December in the year of 2017. The results showed that 36 families and 70 species were found and classified into three main groups of marine benthic organisms as Bivalves, Polychaetes and Crustaceans. The average density of these organisms were 784 ± 170 ind/m2.The highest abundance of bivalve were Donax faba, Lucina sp. and Meretrix meretrix, followed by group of polychaetes as Glycera sp., Ceratonereis sp., Nereis sp. and Scoloplos sp. and crustaceans as hermit crabs (Paguridae), respectively. Diversity index, Evenness index and Species richness were in a range of 1.00-2.60, 0.74-0.93 and 1.04-4.95, respectively. Similarity index with cluster analysis of marine benthic organisms at various stations and months could be separated into 11 main group at 65%. This studies can be concluded that species diversity and vertical distribution of marine benthic organisms depend on particle sizes, organic contents, tidal levels, and environmental factors.
