Large spatial variation was found in the abundance and species composition of ichthyofauna in seagrass meadows of Apalachee Bay and Indian River lagoon, Florida. Abundance of fishes was a direct function of aboveground seagrass biomass in Apalachee Bay where seagrass meadows were dominated by turtlegrass, Thalassia testudinum, but the relationship did not hold across monospecific beds of T. testudinum; manatee grass, Syringodium filiforme; and shoal grass, Halodule wrightii, in Indian River lagoon.
