Yangtze River Estuary plays a key role in linking the river and ocean ecosystems. Our understanding on its biodiversity and associated ecological processes remains poor, which is especially true for the invertebrate assemblage. Here, we investigated invertebrate assemblage pattern and associated environmental drivers based on four different seasonal comprehensive investigations across this region in 2014. A total of 35 species, belonging to 20 families, 10 orders and three phylums were identified. Crustaceans (19 species) and mollusks (13 species) were the taxa with higher richness. Dominant invertebrate included Palaemon gravieri, Crangon affinis, Ovalipes punctatus, Acetes chinensis, Portunus trituberculatus and Charybdis bimaculata. Total density and biomass was 4518.96 kN·km
and 173.09 kg·km
respectively, with the highest value in spring and the lowest in autumn. Biodiversity indices peaked in winter and spring and reached the lowest in summer. Invertebrate assemblage structure showed significant seasonal
