Effects of different densities of the ophiuroid Amphrura fhforrnis and of the bivalve Abra nitida (both species separately) on initial recruitment were s t u l e d in situ in a soft-sediment environment at 25 m depth in the Gullmar Fjord (Sweden). Containers with known densities of residents in natural sedlrnent, and some defaunated controls, were exposed for 9 d on the bottom. With both species there was a clear effect on both density and horizontal spatial distribution of recruits in the experimental containers. At high densities (2400 per m'), A. f.forrnis inhibited recruitment of most taxa, whereas the effect of A. nitida at me&um densities (1400 per m2) was facllitation. Both residents caused a less aggregated distribution of recruits compared with controls. The bioturbation disturbance caused by A. nitida seemed to have little negative effect on recruitment. It is suggested that A. filiformis may inhibit recruitment by ingesting settlers or newly settled juveniles.
