| sediment toxicity and community composition of benthos and colonized periphyton in the everglades-florida bay transitional zone. | this survey provides information on sediment toxicity and structural characteristics of the macrobenthic and periphytic algal communities at 10 locations in northeast florida bay. whole sediments were not acutely toxic to mysidopsis bahia (marine invertebrate) and hyalella azteca (freshwater invertebrate) relative to reference sediment. survival was between 80% and 100%. community structure of the macrobenthos and algal-periphyton varied spatially. a total of 116 benthic species were identified ... | 2004 | 15217247 |
