Effect of high organic enrichment of benthic polychaete population in an estuary
(Elsevier, 1986)
The benthic polychaete fauna of an estuarine region receiving domestic sewage and wastes from a nearby fish landing jetty was compared to that of a site having normal organic enrichment. The population density, biomass and ...
