Biodiversity of Marine Flora & Fauna of Nha Trang Bay
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In total, some 3,000 marine species, in ca. 1200 genera form ca. 500 families have
been recorded from Nha Trang Bay in taxonomic studies of seaweeds,
zooplankton, corals, polychaete worms, molluscs, crustaceans, echinoderms, fish
and marine mammals dating from the 1930s.
This exceptional species diversity is among the highest for Vietnam coastal waters,
representing ca. 50 % or more of the entire Vietnamese totals for many groups.
The high diversity is likely related to both the high degree of habitat heterogeneity
and oceanic connectivity in surface currents fostering larval dispersal.
Harvest overexploitation of some groups, particularly fishes, molluscs and
echinoderms, and the widespread use of destructive fishing (blasting and poisons)
in recent years has likely caused major declines or local extinctions in some
species.
1. INTRODUCTION
Scientific research on the marine biodiversity of Vietnam began in the 1920s, with
both foreign and Vietnamese marine scientists collecting specimens from various
locations in the South China Sea. In Nha Trang Bay, this work was initially
conducted by foreign scientists in the 1930s, following establishment. Since then
numerous works on marine taxonomy and distribution have been published. The
present report, one of a continuing series on the biodiversity of Nha Trang Bay (e.g.
see Vo et al. 2002 a - c), presents as overview of the species composition and
distribution of the marine flora and fauna, necessary as a base-line for continuing
research in Nha Trang Bay, focused on the Hon Mun Marine Protected Area.
2. METHODS
Various taxonomic experts at the Institute of Oceanography, Nha Trang reviewed
the available literature in their taxonomic areas of expertise (both published papers
and unpublished reports) and prepared tables of the species reported from Nha
Trang Bay for:
•

•
algae and seagrasses;

fish; and
marine mammals.
Differences in sampling methodologies among different workers and across
different taxonomic groups limit the comparability of results among different
surveys.

Biodiversity of Marine Flora & Fauna of Nha Trang Bay
Further, the exploitation of various harvest species, particularly fishes, echinoderms
and molluscs, in Nha Trang Bay in recent years has contributed to major recent
changes in species composition. For some species, overexploitation has caused
marked declines in their populations or local extinctions (also see Vo et al. 2002b).
With these important caveats accepted, this Review provides a detailed compilation
of all historical records of marine biodiversity of Nha Trang Bay.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In total, some 3,000 marine species, in ca. 1200 genera form ca. 500 families have
been recorded from Nha Trang Bay (Table 1).

Algae
A total of 248 species in 116 genera from 49 families (4 phyla) were recorded
(Table 2), of which ca. 40 species were epiphytes, 4 species occur on muddy
substrates, 17 species on sandy substrates, 164 species on rocks and rubble, and
20 species on coral reefs. Algae in Nha Trang Bay are very diverse, widely
distributed and for some groups show marked seasonal changes in biomass and
species composition. Most species were commonly found in gravel or rubble while
a few others were only found on muddy substrates. In general, algae were both
depauperate in species composition and of relatively low biomass on healthy coral
reefs in comparison with damaged reefs.

3.2. Seagrasses
Seven species of seagrasses in 5 genera from 2 families were recorded in Nha
Trang Bay. The largest seagrass beds occur at Dam Tre, Dam Gia, Vung Me (Tre
island) and Lang Chai (Mieu island). Seagrasses were most diverse at Dam Gia
where 6 species in 5 genera were recorded. The Spoon grass (Halophila ovalis) is
common found in Nha Trang Bay. This species was widely distributed, from the
intertidal zone to 10 m deep. The highest density of Halophila ovalis was recorded
at Dam Tre and Vung Me.
3.3. Zooplankton
A total of 234 species in 88 genera of 42 families from 5 phyla were recorded in
Nha Trang Bay. Some groups, including Isopoda, Cumacea and commensal
Copepoda belonging to Order Poecilosmatoida have been only recently recorded
(1997 – 2002) and have not been published as yet.
3.4. Corals
A total of 206 species of corals have been recorded in Nha Trang Bay. This
includes 169 species of reef-building hard or stony corals in 55 genera from 16
families; 28 species of soft corals in 9 genera from 4 families; 4 species of
gorgonacean corals in 3 genera from 3 families and 5 species of 'fire corals'
Millepora (Milleporidae, Hydrozoa). Among the reef-building corals, the highest
number of species belonged to family Acroporidae (with the genera Acropora and
Montipora contributing some 40 species). The family Faviidae had the highest
number of genera (13 genera). At provincial level, Khanh Hoa waters support
among the highest number of species of scleractinian corals (267 species)
compared with other provinces in the south of Vietnam such as Quang Nam-Da
Nang province (266 species), Binh Thuan Province (264 species), Kien Giang
province (269 species) and Con Dao (185 species) (Vo Si Tuan & Phan Kim
Hoang, 1996).
3.5. Polychaetes
Polychaete worms (phylum Annelida) are very rich in Nha Trang Bay, with some
339 species recorded to date, including Errantia and Sedentaria, and representing
ca. 50 % of the total species diversity reported from Vietnam. Species composition
and distribution of polychaetes were highly dependent on substrate types and
depth.
3.6. Molluscs
A total of 490 species of molluscs in 164 genera from 62 families in 2 classes
Gastropoda (429 species) and Bivalvia (68 species) were recorded in Nha Trang
Bay. This represents 61% of the total species recorded in Khanh Hoa province (Bui
Quang Nghi, 2001).
Saurin (1959) published many species of Pyramidellidae SP. in Khanh Hoa
province, of which 197 species were recorded in Nha Trang Bay. Many species in
this family are ectoparasites, feeding on the body fluids of various invertebrates,
mainly polychaete worms and other molluscs. The majority of pyramidellids live in
subtidal to deep waters and prefer muddy or sandy substrates where annelid
worms are abundant (see e.g. Tran Ngoc Loi 1965). Compared with some other
areas, species composition of molluscs in Nha Trang Bay was more abundant than
5
Biodiversity of Marine Flora & Fauna of Nha Trang Bay
Cat Ba – Ha Long Bay (372 species) (Nguyen Xuan Duc, 2001) and Tonkin Gulf
(470 species, Cai Yingya et al., 1988).
Differences in geographical location and substrate types (mainland - oceanic
gradient) are the major factors contributing to differences in distribution of molluscs.
In the littoral, oysters were most numerous on rocks, developing into an “oyster
belt” in the intertidal. Some species of families Littorinidae, Patellidae and
Turbinidae were most strongly distributed in the lower littoral zone, particularly on
soft substrates, with 27 species recorded in Cua Be estuary in 1999. In the deeper
sea, species composition is more abundant and more diverse. In the coral reefs,
molluscs have evolved many modes of life, free-living, boring in rocks or corals, in
sandy bottom nearby reef.
3.7. Crustaceans
A total of 309 species in 137 genera from 92 families of crustacean were recorded
in Nha Trang Bay, representing ca. 22 % of the total species of crustacean
recorded in Vietnam (Nguyen Van Chung et al., 1977). Among these, 186 species
were published with detailed descriptions and 169 species were only listed, most of
which were collected from hard substrates.
3.8. Echinoderms
A total of 339 species of echinoderms in 86 genera from 44 families have been
recorded in Nha Trang Bay, representing less than 50% of the total species
recorded in Vietnam.
3.9. Fishes
The fish fauna of Nha Trang bay historically has been very rich, with a total of 796
species in 351 genera from 125 families (of which 336 species are coral reef fishes)
recorded. Nha Trang Bay is more diverse than Cu Lao Cham, Cu Lao Cau, Con
Dao and Phu Quoc Islands. Some of the rarest species of fishes in coastal waters
of Vietnam have been recorded in Nha Trang Bay, consistent with its easterly
location and likely strong connectivity with other areas via surface ocean currents.
Density of fish in the families Chaetodontidae, Pomacanthidae, Acanthuridae,
Balistidae, Labridae, Scaridae, Siganidae in Nha Trang Bay were more abundant
compared to other waters (excluding Spratly archipelagos).
3.10. Mammals
Most marine mammals are migratory species, recorded as reference list. Only one
species of whale (Sousa chinensis (Osbeck)) has been recorded in the waters
surrounding Nha Trang Bay. However, this species is now threatened from nutural
and human impacts.
4. CONCLUSIONS
The results from review on taxonomy of marine flora and fauna in Nha Trang Bay
can be summarized as follows:
The species composition of marine flora and fauna in Nha Trang Bay was very rich
compared to other areas in coastal waters of Vietnam. Fishes, molluscs and
polychaetes have received detailed study while some other groups such as
6
Biodiversity of Marine Flora & Fauna of Nha Trang Bay
echinoderms and crustaceans were not well studied, and most studies focused on
hard substrates only. Information on species and abundance of marine mammals in
the area is very limited.
Outputs of this review were generated from the documents that were mainly
published before 1970 and unpublished data from some recent studies. This review
should contribute to the understanding of recent changes of the communities under
natural and human impacts.
