Sub-Tidal Sandy Beach Trophic Structure in the Area of Punta Moron, Venezuela

摘要: Coastal food chains have been studied mainly in relation to the structure of communities under direct or indirect changes due human activity (pollution and fisheries). Although a great deal information is available for Carribbean, specially Florida (U.S.A.), this highly dispersed. In Snedaker (1976) revision knowledge trophic Biscayne Bay presented; Odum, Heald (1982) can be cited among others, with studies particular environments like analysis mangrove community Brook (1977) on Thalassia testudinum community, also Florida.
