Comparison of benthic indices for the evaluation of ecological status of three Slovenian transitional water bodies (northern Adriatic)Pitacco, Valentina ...Benthic indicators are important tools for the classification of coastal and transitional water bodies. The aim of the work was to assess for the first time the Environmental Status (ES) of Slovenian ... transitional waters, comparing the following biotic indices: richness, Shannon-Weaver diversity, AMBI, M-AMBI, BENTIX and BITS indices. A total of 13 stations were sampled with a Van Veen grab, in three ecosystems in the northern Adriatic. Samples were sieved and sorted, invertebrates identified and counted. The anthropogenic impact was estimated with professional judgement. Richness and diversity showed a good response to anthropogenic pressure. Conversely, indices based on sensitivity/tolerance groups did not showed a clear distinction between more and less impacted ecosystems. In particular BENTIX underestimated the ES, while with BITS there was a overestimation. The best evaluation was obtained with M-AMBI, because even if based on a sensitivity/tolerance approach, it considered also the structural aspect of the community.Source: Marine pollution bulletin. - ISSN 0025-326X (Vol. 129, iss. 2, 2018, str. 813-821)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2018Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 4483919
