摘要: Meiofauna composition was investigated for six field sites, including polluted and non-polluted within two regions (Auckland Bay of Plenty) during winter (July-August 2004) in the North Island New Zealand. Physico-chemical parameters were measured sampling period meiofauna distribution abundance compared with these parameters. Analysis indicated that foraminiferans, nematodes ostracods taxa contributed to variability between sites Auckland region. However, no clear dominance seen Plenty Comparison physico-chemical done using multivariate analysis (PRIMER). relationships observed any site either The Shannon-Weiner index diversity did not show differentiation sites. Therefore, from present study, or used could effectively characterise pollution at
