Diagram 10.6.2. MDS 3D Dimensional Plot Showing Groupings Based on 20% Similarity Slice of Faunal Data.
10.6.4.2 Epifaunal communities 10.
Trawl data analysis was carried using the numerated taxa with their full abundance and the presence of the non-numerable colonial species accounted for by giving them an abundance of one. The Cluster analysis and the correspondent 2D multi- dimensional plot are presented in Figure 10.5.3 and Figure 10.5.4. Six distinct epifaunal communities were identified at a 48% similarity slice.
