Abstract

A survey of the intertidal rocky pool fish community and some environmental conditions was carried out on Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf, from August 2010 to May 2011. In total, 1038 fishes belonging to 13 species and 5 families were caught, mainly permanent intertidal residents of the families Blenniidae and Gobiidae. The most abundant species were Antennablennius variopunctatus and Istiblennius pox (Blenniidae). The number of individuals and species differed significantly among the rock-pools, apparently in response to variation in rock-pool volume, intertidal height and substrate complexity.
