Abstract

In the eulitoral zone near the isle of Hiddensee (Baltic Sea) aggregated distribution is typical for the macrofauna. Only mussels are randomly distributed; they occur in low individual abundance. In contrast, Clark and Milne (1955) found random distribution to be the general rule for animals of the sublitoral zone.
