An ecological study was performed to investigate the community structure of the benthic macrofaunal assemblage on the Cheokjeon tidal flat, Incheon, Korea. Benthic samples were collected between Sept. 1990 and July1992 at three stations to compare environmental factors with the structure of benthic community among station sand seasons. Overall, macrofauna comprised a total of 111 species, and the mean density (708.1 md./$m^2$) and biomass (214.9gWWt/$m^2$). The number of species and individuals of polychaetes, molluscs and crustaceans made up more than 80% of the total number. On the other hand, in terms of biomass, bivalves and holothuroideans indicated that they were the dominant faunal groups. Hierarchical classification using the Bray-Curtis coefficient categorized samples into 3 station and 4 faunal groups. In terms of q-mode, there consisted of upper, middle and low tidal flat stations, respectively. And four faunistic groups were established as follows: 1) Heteromastus filifomis-Mactra veneriformis-Solen strictus-Ilyoplax finggi (wide-ranging elevation specialists), 2)Nephtys chemulpoensis-Macrophthalmus gaponicus (high elevation specialists), 3) Glycera subaenea-Decorifer matusimana-Tritodynamia (middle elevation specialists) and 4) Nephtys polybranchia-Borniopsis tsurumaru-Asthenognathus inaequipes-Protankyra bidentata (low elevation Specialists).
