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
INTRODUCTION
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Little benthic work has been carried out in the ttopics
compared to higher latitodes. 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.

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).

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).

amounts to 640 fish species in 90 families. It is a high
number because the 3 subdistricts encompass all
types of environment, i.e, mangrove, sea grass beds,
mud flats, coral reefs Qive coral range from very
high to very low coverage), shallow water depths, and
islands, some of which are located in blue water.
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.

Bay, but only dead specimens were sampled.
