The Impacts of Organic Pollution on the Hydrochemistry and Community Structure of Benthic Macrofauna of Lagos Lagoon, Southwest Nigeria

The Impacts of Organic Pollution on the Hydrochemistry and Community Structure of Benthic Macrofauna of Lagos Lagoon, Southwest Nigeria

The Lagos lagoon is a coastal lagoon and hence, is highly impacted by pollutants from anthropogenic sources. The greater percentage of these pollutants is organic in origin. Hydrochemistry and benthic fauna assemblage of five anthropogenically impacted sites of the Lagos lagoon, Nigeria were studie...
