- W2077882518 abstract "The growth of major polychaete and bivalve species inhabiting sandy sediments off the north-east coast of England was examined over a 1-year period in a comparative study of community production in relation to contaminant sources. Background information on site locations, sampling methods and benthic community structure is provided. The polychaetes Spiophanes bombyx, Magelona spp. and Nephtys spp. were major contributors to community biomass at most sites, either individually or collectively. Tellina fabula, Nucula turgida, Venus striatula and other bivalves were only sparsely represented at most sites and growth rates were generally lower than elsewhere. Reduced bivalve populations, together with the presence in high numbers of short-lived polychaete species, may be connected with the vulnerability of bottom sediments to disturbance by water movements in this coastal region. Recruitment patterns were generally similar between sites but showed marked annual variation, with a substantially greater bivalve settlement occurring at the end of the sampling period. Estimates of community production ranged from 3.4 to 7.4 g ash-free dry weight per square metre a year, and showed relatively high turnover rates compared with other regions, which, again, may be related to a greater degree of fluctuation in the physical environment. Production was highest at a site near to the Tees estuary and was accounted for mainly by the polychaetes Nephtys hombergi and Spiophanes bombyx. The concentration of biomass into one or two species may have consequences for the stability of the fauna. However, the results do not appear to indicate any serious effects of pollution, which may suggest that the coastal waters have sufficient capacity to effectively dilute and disperse any harmful constituents of present estuarine efflux. Limitations to the interpretation of field data using conventional methods of sampling and analysis are discussed, and the application of growth studies to investigations of water pollution is advocated." @default.
