In seven cruises on benthic organisms in the nearshore waters(>50 m) to the west of the Taiwan Strait(23°20'-25°54'N,117°11'-119°58'E) in 1961-1964,altogether 189 stations of quantitative grabbing and 33 stations of qualitative trawling were made. Altogether 392 species of benthic organisms have been identified.The composition was dominated by nearshore shallow water species,with tropical and subtropical species absolutely dominant.The total average of biomass was 38.0 g/m2 and average density,116.0 ind./m2.The communities of benthic organisms in the area can be classified into five communities namely,(1) Amphiura sp.-Acaudina molpadioides Community;(2) Protankyra asymmetrica-Arnphioplus pracstans-Murex trapa Community;(3) Modiolus meicalfei-Phyllophorus liuwutiensis-Armandia letocirris-Nephtys sinensis Community;(4) Branchiostoma belcheri-Solenr oseomaculatus-Marphysa sinensis- Onuphis eremita Community;(5) Iconomtra japonica-Barbatia decussata Community.
