1 ก ก ก The Survey of taxa richness and density of macrobenthic community in Ao Phrao beach, Koh Samet, Rayong Province after crude oil spill occurred, 1* ก ก 1 Napakhwan Whanpetch, 1* and Kittipong Puksawas 1 ก ก ก ก ก ก (1 3 6 ก ก ก ) 13 ก 3 ก ก 1 ก 3 ก ก ก 6 กก ก กก ก ก ก ก ก ก ก ABSTRACT Study on taxa richness and density of macrobenthic community after crude oil spilled occurred at Ao Phrao beach, Koh Samet, Rayong Province was carried out. The samples of sand and macrobenthos were collected around Ao Phrao beach in August 2013, October 2013 and January 2014 (1 month, 3 months and 6 months after oil spill leaked). Thirteen taxa of three phylum of macrobenthic animals were found. The result showed that density, taxa richness and taxa composition of macrobenthic animals decreased after 1 month of oil spill leaked and slightly increased after 3 months. Macrobenthos decreased again after 6 months. This study demonstrated that macrobenthic community might be in the process of recovery process. Macrobenthic community needs to continue the research to confirm this result. Key Words: macrobenthos, oil spill impact, sandy beach, Ao Phrao, Thailand * Corresponding author; address: tearna@gmail.com 1 ก. ก ก Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Fisheries, Kasetsart University, Ngam Wong Wan Road, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900
