This study aims to determine whether the benthic meiofaunal assemblages on the intertidal zone of Danshuei River estuary (DRE) in Taiwan vary from the estuary to the upper stream, and in response to different habitats. A total of six major taxa (Nematoda, Copepoda, Ostracoda, Polychaeta, Oligochaeta and Gastrotricha) of meiofauna and 44 nematode genera were recorded at 12 sampling stations in DRE in October, 2013. Meiofauna densities ranged between 4.67 ± 2.08 and 294.00 ± 180.40 ind./10 cm2, the average was 162.31 ± 84.36 ind./10 cm2. Nematodes were the dominant group (relative abundance, RA: 89.27%) in the meiofaunal community at all stations, with its assemblage in DRE dominated by nonselective deposit feeders (55.14%). There were striking differences in nematode assemblages between mangroves and mangroves with reed habitats. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the dominances of the genera Anoplostoma, Metacylicolaimus and Deontostoma were significantly negative while Terschellingia correlated positively with salinity. These genera showed either decreasing or increasing trends at stations from the estuary to the upper stream. The dominances of the genera Megadesmolaimus and Theristus were significantly positively correlated with the proportion of sand and negatively correlated with the proportion of silt and clay. Our results indicate that salinity and sediment type influenced nematode assemblages in the DRE.
