| Research Abstract |
I conducted seasonal quantitative sampling of intertidal shellfish (mollusks and crabs) to investigate the differences in assemblage structure and recruitment pattern between the artificial and natural habitats. Species specific patterns of response to a newly created habitat suggested that we should carefully pay attention not only to the density of a single target species but also to their life history characteristics, age structure and habitat preference of multiple species, when we judge ecological conditions of artificial tidal flats.
