Jørgen Hylleberg

ABSTRACT. A pioneer stody of benthic fauna and flora was carried out in Chalong Bay. Five cruises were conducted in October 2006. Cruise 1 to the eastern entrance of Chalong Bay. Cruise 2 to the Klong Mudong area towards Yon Bay with sediments of pure clay. The fauna was rich in gastropods and brittle stars. Cruise 3 to Chalong Bay south of Klong Mudong where the sediment changed to coarse sand dotted with dead corals. Two patches of seagrass were recorded as new in the inner bay. A number of juvenile fish indicated that the bay area should be a nursery ground for commercial species. Cruise 4 to the Central Chalong Bay and southern entrance to the bay. In that area many tom off seagrass leaves drifted on the surface of the water. Cruise 5 to the sea side of Lone Island. In total, the field survey yielded 190 samples at 61 stations in the bay. Data are summarized on maps of the area. Biodiversity is displayed at the phylum, class and family levels based on the present survey and information provided by an experienced local malacologist. Effects of the tsunami 2004 is discussed. Key words: Chalong Bay, nursery ground, seagrass, quantitative samples, tsunami 2004

In the Andaman Sea quantitative benthic stodies have been concentrated on the west coast ofPhuket (Hylleberg et al., 1985) aod the Andaman Sea (ChatlInanthawoti aod Bussarawit, 1987). In addition, stodies have been conducted on selected groups such as polychaetes, corals, mangrove crabs, molluscs and fish (Hylleberg, 1990: 76-78). These stodies have emphasized that there is a long way to go before the marine fauna as a whole has been reasonably well described. The best know taxa are fish, molluscs and crustaceans, i.e., taxa with economic importance. In the marine parts of the ttopics we know more than 6000 species of molluscs (the most species rich taxon of aU marine taxa), 4000 species of fish, 800 species of echinoderms, 500 species of hermatypic corals (Pepping et al., 1999: 121). Large taxa such as the polychaetes are not as well know as the above taxa, so it is difficult to say how many species we can expect to find, but stodies so far indicate that we can count them in the thousands. The present activity is a pioneer stody. Previously, only data from the intertidal of Chalong Bay has been recorded. Study area. The stody area involved the 3 subdistricts (Tambons): Wichit, Chalong, aod Rawai sharing the shallow Chalong Bay on Phuket Island, the Andaman Sea, Thailand (see Fig. 5). The field survey was mainly conducted in the inner Cha10ng Bay, but one transect was carried out along the seaward side of Lone Island. The benthic survey consisted of 190 samples at 61 stations in Chalong Bay (see Fig. 3). Sampling gear. Different sampling gears were tried (e.g., rectangular dredge, Ocke1mann dredge) but only the Van Veen grab (Fig. I) was suited for hand operated sampling of benthos from a small boat (Fig. 2). Sampling took place along transects selected to trace the distribution of benthos according to depth, i.e, variation of sediments, and the distribution of seagrass. The transects and stations were mapped according to GPS signals. Treatment of samples. The quantitative grab samples (0.05 m 2) were sieved through 2 mm and 1 mm mesh size stainless steel sieves. Live animals, seagrass, and dead shells were picked by hand and fixed in formalin. The sediment residue retained by the I mm sieve was washed with sea water in a tray and decanted through a 0.5 mm mesh 3 times. 82 Marine taxa in the Reference Collection of PMBC Many small crustaceans and polychaetes were collected in this way. The decanted material was fixed in formalin and subsequently sorted under a microscope in the Reference Collection Building. Sediments were visually classified after the Van Veen grab samples were brought on board. The records were subsequently transferred to a sheet in Excel and then to a page of Chalong Bay in Google Earth. Sediments were graded from the fine clay to coarse sand and distribution calculated through the favour of Dr. Kongkiat Kittiwattanawong. Specimens from the survey were deposited in the PMBC Reference Collection. RESULTS Physical environment The water depth is generally around 3-4 m in the inner Chalong Bay with some channels reaching a depth of more than 9 m. Water depth increases towards the outer islands. 70-75 m depth is found at the southernmost island Racha Noi (Fig. 4). There are extensive intertidal areas in the bay and on the bayside of Lone Island. A total of 61 subtidal stations are marked on Fig. 3 The sediments were distributed from fine clay in the Klong Mudong area to coarse sand further south (indicated by the red dots on Fig. 6). The clay bottom appeared healthy without smell of hydrogen sulphide at all stations. At the SW entrance to the inner Chalong Bay the bottom was composed of compacted coarse sand, so the Van Veen grab could not penetrate it. Most samples consisted of mixed sediments with clay, sand, and shell fragments in variable proportions. However, the computer's grading of fine sediment (light colour) and coarse sediment (dark colour) reflects the visual impression of the grain size distribution (Fig. 6). Figure 1. The hand operated Van Veen grab with a sample is hauled on board the boat. Figure 2. The boat used for sampling was put at our disposal by the Andaman Sea Fisheries Center.

Biodiversity in Chalong Bay at levels of class (polychaetes, bivalves, gastropods) and phylum Sipuncula. 86 Marine taxa in the Reference Collection ofPMBC The sea beds of inner Chalong Bay as well as the outer part along the sea side of Koh Lone were classified as mixed bottom with some exceptions of well sorted, fine and coarse shell sand, or shell gravel. Vegetation Abundant seagrass beds were found io the iotertidal zone arouod Klong Mudong to the north of the bay. Mangrove vegetation spread along the coast io a rather narrow belt along the upper iotertidal zone east and west of Klong Mudong. A total of II seagrass beds had been identified before the present study was conducted (Sombat Poovachiranon and Kongkiat Kittiwattanawong, pers. comm.). Two new seagrass patches were found on the western side of Chalong Bay, iodicated on the map as n-I and n-2 (Fig. 5). One patch was discovered at the south-eastern comer of Lone Island, marked n-3 on the map. The latter seems to a continuation of bed nO 5. The followiog species of seagrass were present: Cymodocea senulata and Halophila decipiens (n° 4). Cymodocea serrulata and Halophila ovalis (nO 5), Halophila decipiens (patch n-I), Halophila ovalis (patch n-2), Cymodocea serrulata (patch n-3) (species identification by Sombat Poovachinmon). Biodiversity of benthic animals In order to descobe patterns of distribution of benthos related to depth and environmental factors, it is presupposed that taxa are identified to specific levels (Hylleberg, 1976; 1986; 1988; Hylleberg and Nateewathana, 1984). However, the taxa of this study have only been identified to the levels of phylum, class or family and the patterns are referred to as biodiversity of four selected taxa displayiog the highest encounter (Figs. 7 and 8). The collected material is useful for continued taxonomic work by staff of the Reference collection. Polycbaetes. The highest densities of polychaetes were found at stations 46 and 47. The samples contained 44 individuals io 14 families, and 48 iodividuals io 16 families per grab sample respectively. Other species rich stations occurred io seagrass areas and at stations adjacent to seagrass, e.g., at station 27 where we counted 39 iodividuals in 12 families. The distribution of most of the 31 polychaete families was rather uniform allover Chalong Bay. However, some exceptions to this general pattern were noticed. Polychaetes were sparsely represented io the clay and muddy clay sediments along the coast from Klong Mudong towards Yon Bay (stations 19-25). From I to 9 iodividuals io I to 5 families were fouod here. Polychaetes made up a relatively small part of the benthic fauna io the eastern part of Chalong Bay (Wichit Subdistrict) and io the centta1 part of the bay (Chalong Subdistrict) (Fig. 7). Polychaetes were more abundant io the western part of the bay (Rawai Subdistrict). The number of iodividuals as well as families were generally higher io patches of seagrass than io areas without seagrass. A total 431 individuals (brackets) was encountered io 31 polychaete families plus some unidentified: Ampharetidae (23), Amphinomidae (6), Capitellidae (36), Chaetopteridae (2),Chrysopetalidae (I), Cirratulidae (29), Dorvilleidae (I), Eunicidae (9), Falbelligeridae (I), Glyceridae (15), Goniadidae (18), Hesionidae (5), Lumbrineridae (18), Magelonidae (8), Maldanidae (36), Nephtyidae (16), Nereididae (17), Onuphidae (4), Ophelidae (3), Orbiniidae (38), Pectioariidae (3), Pilargidae (3), Poecilochaetidae (2), Polynoidae (3), Sabellidae (7), Sigalionidae (4), Spionidae (49), Sternaspidae (25), Syllidae (16), Terebellidae (2), Trichobranchidae (21), unidentified (11). Molluscs. Fig. 7 shows the occurrence of live molluscs per sample (ca. 0.05 m2). The distnbution of specimens was very patchy and spots with hundreds of small juvenile bivalves but not a siogle adult was sampled. Yet, if we also consider recently dead shells, the diversity may be as high as 35 species per sample. Probably, the dead shells represent the true hiodiversity. We only have to sampleaiargerareatoobtaiolive specimens to showthis. Bivalves io the families Arcidae and Veneridae were collected at low tide on mud1lats at the mouth ofKlong Mudong. The gastropod Natica tigrina was also collected here. Brachiopods. The edible brachiopod Lingula unguis was collected at low tide on mud1lats at the mouth of Klong Mudong. Fisb. A few juvenile fishes were caught by the grab. However, a fishing rod equipped with a wheel and a small artificial bait which could spio in the water resulted io catches of small species and juveniles of large commercial fishes. The fishes landed with this gear were io the families Gobiidae, Nemepteridae, Triachtidae, Letherinidae, and Serranidae. They were identified by Ukkrit Satapoomin (Fig. 9). 87 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication Figure 8.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Benthic animal communities and biodiversity. Petersen (1918) had discovered that distribution of species in Scandinavian seas was correlated with depth and sediments. He identified one or two species characteristic for specified depth-sediment environments of the sea bed. When a characteristic animal was present in a sample, he could predict the occurrence of other species which together formed a community. Based on many samples he mapped the overall distribution of each community. For Petersen (op. cit.) the purpose was to be able to calculate the amount offish food present in the sea bed. Petersen's work stimulated researchers in many countries to look for communities, but benthic studies did not take place in tropical waters. To fill this gab, a major study was carried out in 1966 with a view to identify benthic communities in the Andaman Sea (Seidenfaden et aI., 1968). However, they did not find animal communities with indicator species in the Andaman Sea. Hylleberg and Nateewathana (1984) and Hylleberg et al. (1985) arrived at the same conclusion even when benthos was sampled at greater depths where sediments are more predictable. Hylleberg and Nateewathsna (1984) found thst species were distributed in relation to combinations of depth andsediment butthe diversity was so high thatitwould be impossible to categorize benthos the way it was done when the concept of communities was coined by Petersen (1918). The present samples gave a snapshot of the populations at the levels of phylum, class and family referred to as biodiversity hotspots (Fig. 8). Several explanations are possible regarding these changes. One explanation could be that no population is constant in size or distribution. Locally, there will always be increase and decrease, extinction and recolonization of all living species (Hylleberg, 1993). A second and most likely explanation could be that 1he tsuoami movedconsidershle amounts of sediment in shallow water and the intertidal zone. Subtidal channels were made deeper, enhancing water circulation, and coral reef flats were cleaned, i.e., accumulated sediment removed. At the same time new areas were opened up for colonization by animals which depend on clean surfaces and reduced torbidity. The tsunami damage to intertidal sea grass itself was very limited, estimated at <5 to 0% damage (DMCR, 2005: 41). There is no evidence oftsunami-affected benthos living in sediments of the subtidal zone. However, over the years changed current patterns and maybe too intensive trawling may have affected benthic fauna such as the button coral (Heteropsammia corala). Only dead individuals were found during the quantitative sampling (Fig. 11). The life of a button coral starts with a sma\l dead gastropod shell. A sipunculan (Aspidosiphon jukesil) occupies the empty gastropod shell and the button coral ouly settles on such gastropod shells. A tiny bivalve lives in symbiosis with the sipunculan and a mytilid bivalve lives inside the coral. These taxa are always found together and we never found a live button coral without its live sipunculan. If one of them dies it means that the other taxa will die as well. Sipunculans drag the corals through the sediment torning the sediment surface over and preventing the corals from being buried in sediment. A number of predatory snails in the families Mitridae and Conidae (Fig. 10) have specialized in preying on sipunculans. Sea beds with many button corals always contain a high biodiversity encompassing the whole food web with fish on the top of the pyramid. Mr. Som- neuk Patamakantin, Rawai, stated that button corals Increase and decrease of populations. Hylleberg and Nateewathana (1984) showed that polychaetes at the family level displayed significant fluctuations over time. Remarkable fluctuations of benthic fauna were also recorded in the present study. Gastropods recorded as extinct in the area suddenly appeared in quantities after the tsunami in 2004. Local people collected many Lambis scorpius indomaris and Strombus cf. decorus for consumption and marketing of the empty shells to shell dealers (Fig. 10). Fish and crustaceans also increased in population sizes. were very abundant in Chalong Bay when he was young 40 years ago (pers. comm.). In accordance, Prof. emer. Jorgen Hylleberg sampled hundreds of live button corals in 1982 on the sea bed around Lone Island to a depth of 20 m (Fig. 11). All live corals contained the sipunculan Aspidosiphon jukesii. Along with the dwindling number of button corals, a number of other molluscs have disappeared (or become very rare) from the sea beds of the biodiversity hotspots around Lone Island and Kaew Islands (Fig. 12, Somneuk Patamakantin, pers. comm). The 90 Marine taxa in the Reference Collection ofPMBC reduced molluscan biodiversity has influenced the whole food web, including the fish and squids on top of the pyramid. High numbers of a small, dead, unidentified turritellid snail (Turritella sp., Fig. 10) were recorded. However, it is not possible to hinge the present findings of reduced biodiversity on the tsunami or pollution due to human activities. Biological significance of seagrass. The present study of benthos confirms previous findings of the biological significance of seagrass beds as spawning and nursery grounds of many commercial fish, as well as being feeding ground for the endangered dugong and green turtle. The inner landward side and the northern entrance to Chalong Bay has a number of seagrass beds. Unfortunately, our boat could not come close enough to the beds nO 7-11 (Fig. 5) since they are in the intertidal zone or in water shallower than the Lambis scorpius indomaris 1.5 depth required to operate gear from our boat. The beds were located by swimming from the boat towards the intertidal, but no samples could be obtained. Seagrass was abundant at the eastern entrance to Chalong Bay. Polychaetes and small crustaceans dominated in these beds. Some juvenile fish were also caught by the grab. The experienced fisherman Sutha Prateep Na Talang pointed out that he had fished female carangids ready to spawn in that particular part of the ChalongBay seagrass (Hylleberg et al., 2013). The present data confirms previous findings of the biological significance of seagrass beds (Satapoomin and Poovachiranon, 1997). Seagrass is the single most important biotope in Chalong Bay seen from the viewpoint of biodiversity. Seagrass beds are generally well defined, although some beds only contained scattered growth of plants. I Turritellasp. Figure 10. The two cone species were collected dead at Kaew Island, previously known to harbour many button corals (see Fig. 11). The gastropods Lambis scorpius indomaris and Strombus cf. decorus were collected at Lai Mai Pai in Rawai. The small Turritella sp. was very common in all muddy bottoms of Chalong Bay, but only dead specimens were sampled. 91 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication Sipunculans cx:trncted from live button corals in 1982 Button corals collected dead in October 2006 during the benthic survey of Chalong Bay Figure 11.
