Tachypleus tridentatus has been upgraded to the State Key Protection Wildlife GradeⅡ in China in 2021. The population of T. tridentatus decreased sharply in recent years. T. tridentatus has become an endangered species. Based on the investigation of coastal wetlands along the Beibu Gulf coast, the resource data of major benthic species of each habitat is added, and niche width and niche overlap index analysis are used to explore the resource utilization of juvenile T. tridentatus and inter-species competition in this study, so as to further explore the competition between juvenile T. tridentatus and various species by using interspecific connectivity. The results show that: (1) juvenile T. tridentatus belongs to a wide niche species in the benthic community, and its niche width is the largest (4.252 2); (2) the niches of juvenile T. tridentatus and various benthos are ecologically partitioned with partial overlap, among which the niche overlap with Mictyris brevidactylus is as high as
