Pearson correlation analyses ( Figure 7 ) between the biomass, abundance of the nekton and The parameters ( H , J , D , temperature, salinity, pH, DO, COD, DIP, DIN, and SS) revealed highly significant positive correlations between nekton biomass and abundance versus water temperature, DIP, and DIN (r > 0.68, p < 0.01) and a highly significant negative correlation (r < 0.47, p < 0.01) between abundance and biomass versus salinity, pH, and COD.
