- Abstract in English
- Macrofauna total biomass showed both a strong significant difference among regions (two-way ANOVA, F3,3095 = 21; p < 0,0001) and depth strata (two-way ANOVA, F3,3095 = 439; p < 0,0001), with also a significant interaction term salinity-depth (two-way ANOVA, F9,3095 = 7; p < 0,001). Highest biomass values were observed in the highest salinity regions (polyhaline zone) and the intertidal zone. Within the subtidal strata, no significant difference was observed.
