計劃說明 ：
國立海洋生物博物館地處後灣，其水族館養殖用水之取水口北鄰四重溪及保力溪，此二溪流經年累月由附近溝渠抑或地表逕流匯集流入附近之家庭、畜牧及農業廢水，然而當雨季來臨或是颱風侵襲時，爆發性的大雨經常使得四重溪及保力溪排放含有大量汙染物質的泥沙，這些泥沙被排入海中後經由潮流及海流攜帶會沿著海岸往南或往北運動，不但會釋放出汙染物質影響附近海域生態環境，甚至會覆蓋在珊瑚礁上面導致珊瑚死亡。除了河川排放及地表逕流對附近海域之生態影響外，季節性水團差異也是影響生物多樣性的重要因子。在水文及水質受到人為與自然因子影響而改變的情況下，後灣附近海域生物在長年累月影響下，對浮游生物、珊瑚、魚類、仔稚魚等海洋生物群聚生態會產生何種影響，其生物之生長、生存及回添量(recrement)如何?需要透過本計劃之各子計劃的研究方能解答。例如研究水溫、光照、沉積物及鹽度等季節性變化，可以進一步了解柳珊瑚與鞭珊瑚的生殖特徵，包括性別比例、配子發育週期及生殖時間。恆春半島海域受到三海系統(Three-sea system)及水團溫鹽季節性變化影響，將對仔稚魚、底棲貝類及魚類各物種之數量及分布一定程度的調節，對浮游生物亦會產生影響。除了河川排放、海潮流及水團溫鹽性質季節性變化外，海洋意外事件(如船隻擱淺油污染事件)對該海域之海洋生物亦會產生相當程度的影響。本館地處後灣，而後灣為過去鮮少完整海域生態環境之調查研究資料探討相關問題，本計畫的目的在於了解後灣海域受自然與人為雙重影響下，季節性海域環境因子之變化與海洋生物多樣性之關係，進而評估目前展場生物取水之安全。

依據各子計劃所提供之資料進行群聚結構之分析，分析項目包括：
1、生物群聚時空變遷分析
將各項生物群聚之相似度三角矩陣以ANOSIM program (Clarke and Green, 1988; Clarke, 1993)進行分析，以了解隨著時間序列的不同生物群聚結構是否有顯著之不同。

2、環境因子與生物群聚之相關分析
以BIOENV program（Clarke and Ainsworth 1993）將海域水質監測中的各項環境因子（包括水溫、溶氧、鹽度、硝酸鹽、亞硝酸鹽、磷酸鹽、濁度、pH值、農藥、葉綠素甲）與生物群聚以BIO-ENV procedure進行相關分析，以找出能解釋生物群聚結構分布的最佳環境因子組合。

3、生物群聚結構之季節性變化分析
一般來說海洋生物群聚會隨著季節的改變而呈現週期性的變化，然而本海域生物群聚的變化為何？本計畫將以RELATE analysis對各項生物群聚進行分析，以瞭解生物群聚是符合週期性變化、或是呈現線性（series）的改變(Clarke et al., 1993)。

4、生物群聚之穩定度分析
將各項生物群聚相似度之變異度進行生物群聚相似度變異度（Index of Multivariate Dispersion）(Warwick and Clarke, 1993)的分析，此分析可用來比較不同時期、不同區域生物群聚之相對穩定度，以了解生物群聚是否受到區域性汙染物之影響。
