Abstract:

This paper aims to give a quantitative analysis, using the belt-transect method, to describe the Balanomorpha species vertical zonation models of the intertidal in the rocky beaches of Guanabara Bay. Community aspects such as: composition in species, and their numerical abundance and dominance, were examined and the results were compared according to the degree of protection inside the bay. Study materials, methods and results are discussed.
