摘要: We tested whether total cover and interstructural space size affect the abundances of mobile fauna colonizing small artificial structures deployed in a seagrass bed near Dubai, UAE, during May September 2011. There were three complexity treatments: low with wide sizes, high narrow sizes. This is first study to deploy that vary while keeping constant constant. Shrimp had significantly higher abundance cover/narrow treatment compared cover/wide treatment. Complexity did not most fauna. differences nudibranchs, amphipods, cumaceans, fish, shrimp, isopods, crabs between two deployment times. demonstrating possible seasonal UAE
