| Abstract | The distribution of macrobenthos in the intertidal area of Buntal Bay, Sarawak was studied based on systematicsampling conducted in 2014. This study aimed to determine the intertidal macrobenthic horizontal distribution and theirrelationship with environmental parameters. An analysis of the intertidal flat marobenthos community suggested that polychaetesdominated the community in terms of the number of individuals and species followed by crustaceans and molluscs. Polychaetesof families Nephtyidae, Spionidae, Capitellidae, and Magelonidae contributed to the high densities of macrobenthos. Multivariateanalysis performed by the Biotic and Environmental linking analysis indicated that communities in Transect 1 and Transect 2were best correlated with food availability (sediment chlorophyll a), and heterogeneity of sediment type (percentage of fine sandand very fine sand). Heterogeneity of sediment characteristic and food availability were identified as potentially playing a keyrole in the shaping of the intertidal macrobenthic distribution in Buntal Bay. |
