Benthic indices based on the Polychaetes/Amphipods (P/A) ratio have been proposed to
assess the environmental quality status of ecosystems in estuarine and coastal waters …

Assessing the environmental impact of salmon farms on benthic systems is traditionally
undertaken using biotic indices derived from microscopic analyses of macrobenthic infaunal …

Among the macro-invertebrates used for the assessment of soft-bottom communities, most
polychaetes are classified as tolerant/opportunistic to pollution while amphipods are …

Amphipods are considered a sensitive group to pollution but here different levels of
sensitivity were detected among species, by analysing the impact of five sewage outfalls …

A yearlong study was conducted to assess the impact of an oil spill on macrobenthos of
rocky intertidal zone of Uran, India and its recovery processes, by comparing impacted site …

This review covers selected 2012 articles on the biological effects of pollutants and human
physical disturbances on marine and estuarine plants, animals, ecosystems and habitats …

AbstractA new biotic index, TUBI (TUrkish Benthic Index) is proposed here to assess the
impacts of organic enrichments on benthic community structures. This new index has two …

A large data set of marine benthic samples from the Eastern Mediterranean was used to
develop Benthic Quality Index (BQI)-family, a new indicator based on the BQI index, which …
