Sampling followed a systematic transects design, along latitude gradients similarity level. Indirect gradient analyses indicated a complex interaction of gradients which have influenced the pattern of species composition. The direct gradient analysis indicates significant influence of water temperature (F = 4.03, p 0.05) and salinity (Fxvii, 72 pengMarine Biological diversityFishery resourcesThesisF004-199299999999999
