Description 554-560
In
the present study, synoptic data on the structure of macroinfauna and total
organic content of sediment collected from different sources were analyzed to
look for patterns of association consistent with conceptual model predictions
and to identify

total
organic carbon (TOC) critical points corresponding to major shifts in the
benthic fauna. The density and biomass peaked at moderate TOC (30 mg/g. It is clear that sediment organic matter, depending
on its quality and

quantity,
could act as a food source or as a stress source for the benthic community.
Present study further demonstrated the general trend of modeled hypothesis with
some variation in tropical condition.
