Abstract:
Gastropods have an important role in mangrove forest food web. This study was performed with the aim of studying the gastropod assemblages in different seasons, tidal regions and distance from fishery harbor at Govater Bay- Sistan and Baluchestan Province. Gastropods sampling was done in three transects perpendicular to shore line extended to mangrove forests in three repetitions at the water adjacent, middle and land adjacent points. Separating different intertidal regions, seasons and distance to fishing harbor was done by the one- way ANOSIM. The SIMPER test was also done to define in which what species had more participation in similarity or dissimilarity of gastropod assemblages in different regions or seasons. The ANOSIM results showed that gastropod assemblage in different intertidal zones had significant difference (P<0.01). Gastropod assemblages in the water adjacent points were different than land adjacent and middle points. This analysis didn’t show any significant different between seasons and different distances from fishing harbor; therefore, it can be interpreted that in this region season doesn’t effect on gastropod assemblages and low human interference in fishing harbor effluent hasn’t changed gastropod assemblages. The SIMPER result show that Asseminea sp1 and Asseminea sp2 had more role in sepration of two intertidal regions regarding to gastropod assemblages respectively with the average of 13.19 percent and 13.09 percent dissimilarity from 62.53 percent of the mean total dissimilarity.
