Abstract
⺠Mud events occur episodically at Cassino Beach, changing surf zone hydrodynamics. ⺠We examined the mud influence on the ichthyofauna inhabiting the surf zone. ⺠Mud sites exhibited the lowest richness and equitability values. ⺠Mud area higher abundance values are likely associated to small juvenile individuals. ⺠We proposed three hypotheses to explain juvenile concentration at mud areas.
