英文摘要 | Tropical estuaries of industrialized northwest coast of India, subject to seasonal and multifarious anthropogenic interventions, are poorly studied. Three estuaries, Ulhas, Amba and Savitri were investigated seasonally to identify the principal factors among natural and anthropic stressors that shaped spatio-temporal macrobenthic patterns. The macrobenthic community structure and chemical parameters differed significantly between estuaries, zones and seasons. Multivariate dispersions were significant between the estuaries whereas for the zones and seasons, significant variability was nonexistent. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that both natural and anthropogenic drivers influenced the spatio-temporal variability of macrobenthos of Ulhas and Amba. In Savitri, no anthropogenic factor was significantly influential. Salinity explained a greater proportion of the variability of macrobenthic structure than other factors in all estuaries. The pollution tolerant species responded largely to salinity changes and were observed to inhabit specific salinity zones. Thus, the spatio-temporal patterns of the estuarine macrobenthos were primarily dictated by the salinity. © 2019 |
