The species richness, abundance, and diversity per station is given in Table 2 : the number of species ranged from 21 (station A23) to 100 (station A32), and the number of specimens from 152-m-2 (station A 17) to 432.m-2 (station A26 The dendrograms can be truncated at any level, but the areal presentation derived with MDS based on the total living fauna (Fig. 4 a) indicated that the more justified separation in terms of ecological sense was at the 4 groups level (25% similarity) (two dimensional stress = 0.141). The groups are based on the dendrogram of Fig. 2 Table 5 shows the results of the SPEARMAN rank correlation coefficient between the biotic parameters (number of macrofaunal species, number of specimens, and species diversity) and depth and sediment type. ./cache/cord-010501-kd95xvsg.txt ./txt/cord-010501-kd95xvsg.txt
