| Abstract |
A benthic sampling programme was carried out in 1985/1986, in winter and summer, in order to characterize the intertidal community structure in the Mondego Estuary (Portugal). Echinogammarus marinus (Amphipoda, Gammaridae) was considered a key species in the algal-covered areas, and was particularly associated with Fucus spp. A study of its life cycle, population dynamics and production was therefore carried out. The results reinforce the generalized notion that estuaries are highly productive systems, and reflect the important role of Amphipods in the productivity of habitats colonized by them. |
