Mangrove associated macrobenthos community structure from an estuarine island

Abstract: Abstract. Rahman MDH, Hossain MB, Habib A, Noman MDA, Mondal S. 2021. Mangrove associated macrobenthos community structure from an estuarine island. Biodiversitas 22: 247-252. Macroinvertebrate living on or around the mangroves has not been or less investigated in Bangladesh. This study was carried out to describe the density, distribution, and community structure of mangrove associated macrobenthos in Nijhum Dwip, central coast of Bangladesh. A total of 17 taxa were identified belonging to mainly Polychaetes … Show more

“…Some of the crabs and gastropods were taken for identification. The obtained benthic samples (gastropods and crabs) were preserved with 70% alcohol solution in labeled plastic containers for further analysis (Hastuti et al 2018;Rahman et al 2021). Samples were observed using a stereo microscope with a magnification of 40-100x and identified using a guide from books (Dharma 2005;Murniati and Pratiwi 2015;Bowling 2019).…”

“…Various types of environments in the coastal area of Liki Island provide suitable conditions and habitat types for many species of gastropods. Gastropod habitats are generally in the littoral zone, including tidal areas (Nurhayati et al 2021), where they can attach to seagrass and mangroves' roots, stems, and leaves (Rahman et al 2021). Most gastropods are also immersed in sandy mud substrates (Dharma 1988;Bula et al 2017;Saleky et al 2019).…”

“…High gastropod species richness is related to primary productivity rates as most gastropods are herbivorous, although some are predatory (Pribadi et al 2009). Thus, niche diversification drives a high species richness community (Béguinot 2021;Rahman et al 2021). Gastropods are ecosystem engineers and keystone species; losing certain species may cause ecological phase shifts.…”
