Benthic Fauna of Shadegan Wetland
Biological response and ecological indices of benthic communities, such as greater mortality of foraminifera and shell abnormalities, have been used to document pollution effects on ecosystems. Shadegan Wetland was damaged from a deposition of huge amounts of soot and products of burning oilwells of Kuwait as well as chronic exhaust fumes of refinery and industrial furnaces. In this investigati...
متن کاملAssessing the Classification Indices of Ecological Quality Status Using Benthic Macrofauna Identification in Gorgan Bay
The present study was conducted for the first time to investigate and identify the ecological quality status (EcoQ) of Gorgan Bay and also to emphasize the degree of agreement between the results of different benthic macrofauna indices, introduction of appropriate index and utilization of basic results in environmental management programs in the region. To do, 22 sites were selected and macrobe...
متن کاملBenthic invertebrate community in Khur-e-Mussa creeks in northwest of Persian Gulf and the application of the AMBI (AZTI\'s Marine Biotic Index)
Benthic invertebrates are a well-established target in environmental quality status evaluations. The AMBI (AZTI's Marine Biotic Index) was developed to determine the impacts and the quality status of soft-bottom marine benthic communities. The aim of this study was investigating multivariate pattern of benthic invertebrate community and application of AMBI (AZTI's Marine Biotic Index) for...

متن کاملاثر سد زایندهرود بر جوامع بزرگ بیمهرگان کفزی و کیفیت آب رودخانه زایندهرود با استفاده از شاخصهای زیستی BMWP و ASPT
Dams provide benefits for human societies, but now they are considered as one of the most important factors influencing habitat degradation and changing the hydrological water flow. In order to study the ecological effects of Zayandehroud Dam on the benthic communities and water quality of Zayandehroud river, six sampling stations were selected on the river substrate using biological indicators...
