Abstract Sublittoral benthic molluscs established in the outlet of Lagoa dos Patos (South Brazil) were sampled with a rectangular dredge and the malacological associations delineated by cluster analysis (WPGA) using the Baroni-Urbani and Buser similarity index. Three main associations were characterized in bands parallel to the beach with relative concordance with specific sedimentological facies. The multiple discriminant analysis showed that there was a high correlation between these… CONTINUE READING
