Boubyan Island is essentially undeveloped and the largest island in the northwest of the Arabian Gulf. Small otter trawls were used to sample 12 stations circling Boubyan Island each month, except November, from February 2004 through February 2005. All trawl catches, with the exception of large Skates and Rays, were returned to the laboratory for identification and processing. The total number of individuals captured by all 431 five-minute trawl tows was 81659. Species caught included 31 Crustaceans, 7 Mollusks, 5 Echinoderms, 1 Tunicate, 90 fishes, and 1 Sea Snake. The monthly total occurred species ranged from 27 to 78 and was high in the summer months (June to August) and low in the winter (December to February). Species richness and Shannon’s diversity showed a similar seasonal change pattern with a range of 3.41–7.93 and 0.80–2.58, respectively. The seasonal changes of the number of species, abundance, species richness and diversity were probably caused by the migration and reproductive circle of the organisms. However, the variations for all these indices among different stations were relatively small and suggested a similar environmental conditions for the areas around Boubyan Island.

科威特布延岛海洋动物的时空多样性

布延岛基本上是未开发的,是阿拉伯湾西北部最大的岛屿。从 2004 年 2 月到 2005 年 2 月,除 11 月外,每个月都使用小型水獭拖网对环绕 Boubyan 岛的 12 个站点进行采样。所有拖网渔获物(大型鳐鱼和鳐鱼除外)都返回实验室进行鉴定和处理。全部 431 条五分钟拖网拖网捕获的个体总数为 81659。捕获的物种包括 31 只甲壳类动物、7 种软体动物、5 只棘皮动物、1 条被囊类动物、90 条鱼和 1 条海蛇。每月发生的物种总数从 27 到 78 不等,夏季(6 月至 8 月)高,冬季(12 月至 2 月)低。物种丰富度和香农多样性表现出类似的季节性变化模式,范围为 3.41-7.93 和 0.80-2.58,分别。物种数量、丰度、物种丰富度和多样性的季节性变化可能是由生物的迁徙和繁殖循环引起的。然而,所有这些指数在不同站点之间的变化相对较小,表明布延岛周围地区的环境条件相似。
