Abstract
Over a two year study period, zooplankton was sampledin Gazi Bay, Kenya, using a 335 µm mesh size Bongonet. Two Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN)classification technique demonstrated that rainfalland tidal regime had substantial influence on thezooplankton community structure. Samples collectedduring the rainy season months clustered together whentreated with TWINSPAN. Furthermore, theclustering was more pronounced for neap tidesamples than for spring tide ones. Samples obtainedduring spring tide did not give a clear cut pattern. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (C.C.A.) confirmedthese findings, a clustering together of rainy/neaptide samples; and little separation (based onenvironmental variables) between samplingstations.
