  The analysis of changes in macrobenthic community using multivariate statistical techniques has been applied to find the structure by the environmental condition. The aim of the study was to evaluate macrofaunal community patterns between natural occurrence of coastal hypoxia condition (30 to 100 m depth) and normoxic bottom waters over the Southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS). The macrofaunal communities patterns were analyzed by using various statistical methods (e.g. rank correlation, hierarchical clustering, nMDS, BIO-ENV). A clear seasonal difference was found in macrofaunal abundance, biomass, taxonomic composition, diversity and their relation to environmental conditions. Multivariate analysis of Non Multidimensional Scaling (nMDS) showed two major groups macrofaunal communities and ANOSIM results showed a significant difference between macrofaunal community structure in between nor..
