T1 Distribution of Macrozoobenthos in the Metarithral of the Salmon River of the Sakhalin Island JF Hydrobiological Journal JO HYD YR 2010 FD 2010-02-25 VO 46 IS 1 SP 12 OP 26 K1 metarithral K1 lithodynamic regime K1 speed of water flow K1 bottom sediments K1 benthos K1 trophic characteristics K1 community K1 the Sakhalin Island AB The structure and main communities of macrozoobenthos, and also the quantitative indices of its development, in the metarithral of the Poronay River were investigated. The influence of the speed of water flow, the composition of bottom sediments, and lithodynamic regime on benthos was analyzed. The speed of water flow influences the quantitative characteristics of benthos, whereas the type of bottom sediments and the speed of water flow influence the trophic status of benthos. It has been found that the formation of the types of bottom sediments can be considered as adaptation to lithodynamic regime.
