- MB-00017: Spatial Variation in the Diversity of Macro benthos in the Negombo ...
- Abstract
Benthic animals have been identified as good indicators of environmental conditions of aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to study the spatial variation of macro benthic community in Negombo estuary, which is subjected to variety of anthropogenic activities. Benthic samples from 25 sampling sites to cover the entire lagoon was obtained in March 2003 and the macro benthos were separated by wet sieving and identified as much as possible.
