Features: This book systematically discusses the species composition, species distribution, and distribution of dominant species of large benthic organisms in the continental shelves of the Bohai, Yellow, East China, and South China Seas and their adjacent waters; the quantitative composition, quantity distribution, and spatiotemporal distribution and seasonal variations of biomass and habitat density of major groups such as polychaetes, mollusks, crustaceans, and echinoderms; it provides a particularly detailed introduction to the types, community structures, diversity, and stability of large benthic communities, as well as a brief overview of recent methods for classifying and analyzing large benthic communities. This book is available for researchers engaged in marine biology and marine ecology, as well as for faculty and students at higher education institutions to read and reference.
