✦ Synopsis

Six sandy beach stations along the Jordan Gulf of Aqaba were selected for macrofaunal examination during November 1980. Fifteen core samples (0.01 m2 to a depth of 10-15 om) were taken a t each station; five a t the high tide line, five at the low tide line, and five midway.

Twenty-two taxa were encountered from all stations. Polychaetes were the most diverse group with seven taxa, followed by molluscs and crustaceans with six and five taxa respectively. Animal diversity, using the Shannon-Wiener Index, was generally low. Based on the biological index value of MCCLOSICEY (1970), seven taxa were considered the community dominants. These are: the polychaetes, Glycera tesselutu, PiSim remta, Succoo~r~us sp., and Perinereis nuntia; the isopod Euryrlice arabica; a nemertean and an oligochaete.
