Some Peculiarities of Macrozoobenthos of the Area of Water of the Odessa Port
摘要
The state of the benthic fauna of loose bottom sediments of the Odessa port was studied in 2001 within the framework of the Globallast Program. The revealed peculiarities of macrozoobenthos, including a high number of its species, the absence of Tritia reticulata (L.) biocenosis, and a low intensity of development of Capitella capitata (Fabricius), are indicative of a satisfactory ecological situation within the area of water of the port. However, mass development of detrivorous Polychaeta, including Polydora limicola Annenkova and Heteromastus filiformis Claparede, and also of mainly detrivorous Neanthes succinea (Frey et Leuckart) (r-strategist), is indicative of the process of eutrophication of the studied area of water.
