Actual structure of the fauna associated to some macroalgae species from the Romanian Southern littoral
The qualitative and quantitative composition of the invertebrate fauna associated to Cystoseira and Ceramium thalli were analysed in 2 sites from the Southern part of Romanian Black Sea waters in 2005 spring. During the study, 12 macrozoobenthic species associated to Cystoseira and 9 associated to C...

| Summary: | The qualitative and quantitative composition of the invertebrate fauna associated to Cystoseira and Ceramium thalli were analysed in 2 sites from the Southern part of Romanian Black Sea waters in 2005 spring. During the study, 12 macrozoobenthic species associated to Cystoseira and 9 associated to Ceramium were identified. The eutrophication and pollution affected the Cystoseira beds, and consequently, the stability in space and time of its associated fauna. The analysis suggests a gentle trend of the Cystoseira beds recovery and the diversification of theirs associated fauna, too. Ceramium association, less affected by the phenomena mentioned above, has proved more spatial and temporal stability. The trophic structure of both communities was also studied. |
