Abstract

To investigate the fishery community structure in spring at the early stage of construction of Tangshan Marine Ranching, in China. This study analyzed the relationship between species composition, diversity and community structure of fishery resources in marine ranching using survey data from March, April, and May 2017. The results showed that a total of 53 species of organisms occurred in the spring in the waters inside and outside the reef area of the marine pasture. Among them, 20 species of fish were among the chordates. 16 species of arthropods, including 6 species of shrimps and 8 species of crabs. Ten species of mollusks, including 6 species of snails. 5 species of echinoderms, 1 species of annelids, and 1 species of Cnidaria). The diversity index, evenness index and richness index outside the reef area of marine ranching in spring were greater than those in the reef area. According to cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scale ranking analysis, the biological communities inside and outside the reef area can be divided into four groups, with the similarity of the communities in the reef area being greater. The Abundance-Biomass Comparison curves (ABC curve) indicated that the biological communities within and outside of the reef had been moderately disturbed. The relative importance index and niche analysis demonstrated that there had been sufficient bait in the reef area, and the ecological structure of the marine ranching was taking shape.
