Interstitial Fauna

This paper lists over 100 species, mostly new records for Britain, found in the interstices of sand and shell gravel from North Wales beaches. The distribution of these species, other than the Kalyptorhynchia (Turbellaria) and the Gastrotricha, is given. The distribution of this fauna in relation to the substrate is discussed and species typical of fine-, medium- and coarse-particled substrates are listed.

Abundance And Distribution

A quantitative and qualitative study of interstitial fauna and environmental variables was carried out on five selected sandy beaches of the west coast of India. Species of nine interstitial taxa abound the beaches. Nematodes, harpacticoid copepods, turbellarians, and polychaetes constituted the bulk of the population. The available energy in the beaches ranged from 0.2245 to 16.08 joules/mg and the grain size varied from 0.93 to 2.88φ. Organic matter correlated significantly with coarse sand (Pearson correlation r=0.651; P<0.01). Organic carbon, particle size, and dissolved oxygen determined the abundance and distribution of interstitial fauna as per multivariate BIOENV analysis. Shannon Wiener H′ diversity index was maximum at Cherai (2.027) and minimum at Sakthikulangara (1.144) beach. The value of nematode/copepod ratio (N  (2A)/C>10) indicated at Sakthikulangara beach validates the increased sensitivity of harpacticoids to environmental stress.

Surface sand samples were collected from a number of stations arranged down a transect of the beach at Komimbo Bay, west Guadalcanal. The included interstitial sand animals have been identified to generic level and their distribution and relative numbers are described. The transect was surveyed and the sand samples have been subjected to a particle size analysis.
