MB-00031: Spatial variation of macro benthic fauna in some selected sites in Negombo estuary in relation to prevailing physico - chemical parameters in the environment

Title: MB-00031: Spatial variation of macro benthic fauna in some selected sites in ...
Abstract: Analysis of the spatial distribution of benthic communities gives an insight to the status of environment where they inhabit. With this view the present study was carried out to see whether the spatial distribution of macro benthic fauna in some selected sites in Negombo estuary is governed by the physicochemical parameters in the water and sediment there. This study also attempted to determine the key physicochemical parameter/parameters that govern this spatial distribution. During the s...
