| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to construct criterion for effects of global warming on marine ecosystem, the present study investigated latitudinal change of assemblage structure in intertidal fishes and crabs along the eastern coasts of Kyushu (Tanegashima Island, Miyazaki and Oita prefectures) in rocky shores and estuarine tidal flats. As the results, proportion of subtropical/tropical species was higher in Tanegashima Island than in the other sites. Proportion of tropical species tended to decrease with latitude in rocky shore although such faunal change was not detected in estuarine tidal flat. These results indicated that fauna of estuarine tidal flat is inappropriate measure to latitudinal change of assemblage but that of intertidal rocky shore can be good indicator for monitoring faunal changes in relation to global warming in the sea (e.g. tendency of going north in tropical species with climate change).
