The purpose of this paper is to describe the main
\r\ncharacteristics of macroinvertebrate species in response to
\r\nenvironmental forcing factors. Overall, 23 species of Mollusca, 4
\r\nspecies of Arthropods, 3 species of Echinodermata and 3 species of
\r\nAnnelida were identified at the 9 sampling stations during four
\r\nsampling periods. Individual species of Mollusca constituted 36.4%
\r\nof the total abundance, followed by Arthropods (27.01%), Annelida
\r\n(34.3%) and Echinodermata (2.4%). The results of Kruskal-Wallis
\r\ntest indicated that a significant difference (p <0.05) in the abundance,
\r\nrichness and diversity of the macro-benthic community in different
\r\nstations. The correlation analysis revealed that anthropogenic
\r\npollution and natural variability caused by these variations in spatial
\r\nscales.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] Burger, J. and M.
