| Abstract: | Population density and the diversity of bivalve mollusc in Chahbahar Bay were studied at 12 stations through two cruises during May (premonsoon) and July (monsoon) 1995. Eight families of bivalve were identified in the area, surveyed. The indices of richness, evenness and diversity were estimated in samples of each cruises and the results compared with the physico-chemical changes in water, such as salinity, temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen at different depths. Diversity of bivalves was found to be higher in July than in May. It seems that the population density and diversity of bivalves in the Bay of Chahbahar are influenced by environmental changes caused by the southwest monsoon. |
