| Abstract |
Baseline surveys were conducted on both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts of Panama. The structure of macroinvertebrate communities along the Caribbean transect are presented from data collected for over 500 identified species in 108 samples including a total of over 50,000 specimens. Recruitment to benthic communities was investigated with settling plates. The Caribbean was found to be seasonal in species occurrence while the Pacific was seasonal in productivity. The effects of oil pollution on tropical intertidal marine communities were tested by precisely controlled experiments utilizing tarry Bunker C and volatile marine diesel oils. |
