Abstract

Abstract

Coral reef is one of the most diverse ecosystem in the ocean, and benthic shellfish is an important component of this ecosystem. We used the SCUBA diving line intercept transect quantitative method to investigate the community status and characteristics of benthic shellfish in the coral reef area of Weizhou Island, Beibu Gulf, covered 6 sites. Sectional benthic shellfish were qualitatively and quantitatively collected in the fall (October 2015) and spring (May 2018). The species composition, abundance, biodiversity index and so on were analyzed. Based on the two survey results, 128 species of benthic shellfish were found in the coral reefs of Weizhou Island, belonging to 1 family, 1 genera, 3 species of Polyplacophora, and 25 families, 46 generas, 68 species of Gastropoda, and 22 families, 31 generas, 57 species of Bivalvia. Dominant species are Parahyotissa numisma, Beguina semiorbiculata, Thais echinata, Trochus maculatus, Euplica versicolor, Barbatia obliquata, Atrina verxillum, Cantharus cecillei, Cerithium dialeucum, Drupa margariticola. We recorded 2 class, 14 family, 43 species in quantitative transects in spring of 2018 and the total species, biomass, Shannon-Wiener index, Margalef index and Pielou index are 3.39 ind./m², 86.94 g/m², 3.31, 3.50 and 0.37. By comparing and analyzing the ecological indices of benthic shellfish in different years, the shellfish biomes in the coral reefs showed good succession development during 2015 to 2018. The shellfish community in the coral reef area of the South China Sea may be affected by both the intensity of anthropogenic disturbance and latitude. This study provided valueable data to rationally develop and utilize marine biological resources, biological protection and ecological restoration for the coral reef ecosystem in the Weizhou Island.
