MB-00015: The Spatial Variation of Macro benthic Community in the Negombo Estuary in Relation to Physico-chemical Parameters

Title: MB-00015: The Spatial Variation of Macro benthic Community in the Negombo Est...
Abstract: Analysis of physico-chemical parameters gives an insight to the the spatial distribution of benthic communities in estuaries. With this view the present study was carried out to see whether the spatial distribution of macro benthic fauna is governed by the physico-chemical parameters in sediment and overlying water in Negombo estuary, Sri Lanka. This study also attempted to determine the key physico-chemical determinants that govern this spatial distribution. During the study, the macro be...
