Based on the fishery resource investigation data in Pishan waters of Zhejiang coastal area in November of 2015 (autumn), February (winter), May (spring) and August (summer) of 2016, we analyzed the spatio-temporal niche characteristics and interspecific association of the domi-nant shrimp and crab species using the methods of niche test, variance ratio, chi-square test, Spearman test and redundancy analysis. A total of 34 shrimp and crab species belonging to 14 families and 20 genera were identified. Among them, 10 species were collected in all the four seasons. Dominant species were根据2015年11月(秋季)、2016年2月(冬季)、5月(春季)、8月(夏季)在浙江披山附近海域进行的渔业资源调查数据,运用生态位测定、方差比率、
