Survey on benthos of Ghazaleh "and Ahmadi creeks in Mahshahr"
This study was carried out from March 1992 to Sept. 1993. During monthly sampling from 6 stations in two selected creeks (Ahmadi and Ghazaleh) in Mahshahr area, macrofauna and meiofauna were identified and counted. Also total organic matter of sediments was measured and grain size analysis was carried out. The results show that among macrofauna the dominant benthic animals were Polychaeta, Tanaidacea and Oligochaeta and their abundance was higher in spring and autumn. Among meiofauna, Nematoda, Foraminifera, Copepoda and Ostracoda were dominant and their abundance was higher in winter. T.O.M value was the lowest in winter and the highest in spring.
