T1 Macrozoobenthos as an Indicator in Monitoring of the Environmental Quality of the Black Sea JF Hydrobiological Journal JO HYD YR 2003 FD 2003-03-01 VO 39 IS 1 OP 13 AB Based on long-term observations in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, the work discusses the suitability of changes in performances of macrozoobenthonic communities as the indices of well-being or deterioration of the marine environment.
