Zusammenfassung

Vielfalt ist der erste Eindruck, den das Benthos der Felsküsten auf den Besucher macht. Muscheln, Krabben, Korallen, Seesterne, Seeigel und Tange repräsentieren eigenartige Baupläne, mit denen der Kenner von Landorganismen nicht vertraut ist. Von allen Lebensgemeinschaften des Meeres ist das Hartbodenbenthos dem Laien am zugänglichsten. Das Sammeln von Muscheln und Schnecken und die überwältigenden Eindrücke beim Schnorcheln oder beim Gerätetauchen sind oft der Beginn eines lebenslangen Interesses and der Biologie des Meeres. Auch die wissenschaftliche Untersuchung der Ökologie des Hartbodenbenthos zeichnet sich durch einen besonderen Grad von Anschaulichkeit aus. Oft kann eine destruktive Probenahme unterbleiben. Die Organismen können beobachtet und gezählt werden, ohne daß sie aus ihren Aktivitäten gerissen werden. Konkurrenzexperimente oder Räuber-Beute-Experimente können durch manuelles Hinzufügen oder Entfernen von Organismen durchgeführt werden. Es ist also kein Wunder, daß das Benthos der Felskästen zu einer Hochburg der wissenschaftlichen Analyse von Wechselbeziehungen zwischen den Organismen geworden ist.
