Description
Summary:munities of fish and epibenthic invertebrates four times during the austral summer in Fildes Bay, King George Island Antarctica. We defined eight distinctive habitat types in the inshore areas (depths between 0 and 40 m), each having a characteristic community of fish and epibenthic invertebrates. Species compositions of animal communities varied according to the bottom substrates, depths and the presence or absence of macroalgal colonies. The habitat types of the major animal species are described, and characteristics of each habitat type and its faunal composition are noted. 1.
