摘要: Abstract The ratio of nematodes to copepods was calculated for meiofauna samples from 17 beaches and additional values intertidal sublittoral sites were obtained the literature. Intertidal ratios increased with decreasing particle size, but polluted always extremely high. Sublittoral depth. It is suggested that this has potential monitoring organic pollution sandy beaches.
