Spatial distribution of demersal fish in the district of Saco dos Limões (Baía Sul, Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil)
Keywords:
Fish assemblages, Structure, EstuaryAbstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the spatial distribution of demersal fish fauna in the district of Saco dos Limões, a cave located in the Baía Sul, Florianópolis, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. ln arder to eva/uate the spatia/ distribution of demersa/ fish in the Baía Sul, bimonthly bottom trawling surveys were carried out in six samp/e areas between February 2001 and December 2002; at the same time, environmental data (temperature, salinity at the surface and at the seabed, and depth) were co//ected in each sample area. Significant differences in the number of species and the number of fish per sample area were detected by means of the factorial analysis of variance. However, no significant difference was found in terms of diversity ar equitability. The nMDS and similarity analysis pointed to small dissimilarities in the spatial distribution of species. The more abundant species contributed to most of the dissimilarities found between sampling points.
