Abstract

AbstractThe Fosa de Cariaco off the coast of Venezuela is an anoxic basin which is subject to small seasonal fluctuations in the depth of the anoxic water. Samples taken in the interface region (between oxic and anoxic waters) contained from 13 to 37 species represented by 117 to 380 individuals. Species‐diversity, based on H′(s), was greater than that previously reported for samples from oxygen minimum regions. It is suggested that the relatively stable low dissolvedoxygen concentrations allow the development of diverse assemblages.
