Present study consists the vertical distribution pattern in mangrove associated molluscs (gastropods and bivalves) in two mangal areas: Sandspit and Korangi along the Karachi coast, Pakistan. The vertical distribution pattern delineated that the number of species decreased from high to low tide zone at two sites, however, marked differences were encountered with reference to the density distribution. At Sandspit, highest annual mean density was observed in the high tide zone followed by low and mid tide zones respectively, while, at Korangi the highest annual mean density was observed in the mid tide zone followed by high and low tide zones respectively. An important correlation was observed between the vertical distribution pattern of species and the sediments. |
