- Abstract
Benthic animals are generally considered to be good indicators of environmental conditions of aquatic ecosystems. The present study was undertaken to study the spatial variation of macro benthic community in Negombo estuary (7° 6' - 7° 12' N; 79° 49' - 79° 53' E), which is subjected to a variety of anthropogenic activities. Benthic samples were obtained from 25 randomly selected sites in Negombo estuary in March 2003 and the macro benthos were separated by wet sieving and i...
