Le peuplement littoral de Hon-Chong (Nhatrang)

On the area in relation with the very wave battered made, the associations to be noted are: 1) association with Bangia sp., which is seasonal and located at the level of Brachytrichia maculans. 2) Association with Chthamalus stellatus, which is very well developed over under the oysters’ level. 3) Association with Dermonema frappieri, which form a narrow band over the Chnoospora minima band. At the same level are located the associations with Ectocarpus braeviarticulatus, with Centroceras clavulatum, with Gymnogongrus Sereneii and with Chaetomorpha antennina. The infralittoral level does not present any conspicuous different.

Ecologie de la baie de Nhatrang: étude des peuplements animaux du faciès rocheux intertidal

From the analysis of typical animal populations, the author tries to draw an outline of a general bionomic system and to describe the effects of predominant ecological factors (wave action, insolation, salinity and contents of sea water) on the characteristic species (Tectarius nodulosus, Tectarius novaezelandiae, Chthamalus stellatus, Tetraclita porcsa, Ostrea forskali, Balanus tintinna bulum and Madreporaria). He also outlined a rapid sketch of seasonal variations of the biota.
