Abstract:Macrobenthos were investigated at 8 transects in the intertidal zone of Rushan Bay in October 2011.A total of 104 macrobenthic species were identified in the survey intertidal zone,of which 45 spe-cies were Polychaeta,37 were Crustacea,2 were Mollusca,2 were Echinodermata,and the rest 6 spe-cies were other taxonomical groups.The average abundances and biomasses were estimated to be 817.22ind./m2 and 14.01g/m2 respectively.Shannon-Wiener's diversity index ranged between 1.173~4.332,with the mean value of 2.770.Four macrobenthic station groups could be identified at the 40%similarity level according to CLUSTER.
