Fragmented seagrass habitats on the Mediterranean coast, and distribution and abundance of mysid assemblages Received: 20 June 2001 / Accepted: 20 March 2002 / Published online: 29 June 2002 Springer-Verlag 2002
Abstract Four different habitats were sampled in order to determine the spatial and temporal distribution and abundance of mysids in a seagrass meadow ecosystem. These habitats included meadows of Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa, the edge of P. oceanica meadow and sandy substrates. Three random sites for each habitat were sampled along the coast of Alicante at different times, using a hand-net technique (6 m2). Seven species of mysids were identified: Leptomysis posidoniae, Leptomysis buergii, Paramysis helleri, Siriella clausii, Mesopodopsis slabberi, Siriella armata and Mysidopsis gibbosa. Total abundance of mysids was highest at the edge of the P. oceanica meadow, followed by the C. nodosa meadow, sandy substrate and P. oceanica meadow, respectively (P
