摘要: Abstract An 84 day laboratory experiment indicates the decline of intertidal meiofauna abundance may be directly related to treatment level and time exposure sewage sludges. The observed changes revealed a marked decrease nematodes total disappearance mesobenthic harpacticoids while non-interstitial copepod species were little affected. possibility new interpretation Nematode/Copepod ratio as an index organic pollution in sediments is discussed.
