“…Giri et al (2021) have demonstrated that 78% cultivator advocated that BBFS productivity is more acceptable than chemical and BBFS system is more entrusted for living of micro-organisms. Chowdhury et al (2024) described that more abundance of benthos were 1650 ind. m -2 in Sarawak and Crustacean was 597 ind.…”

Benthic organisms have a great ecological impact in any aquatic ecosystem. The study was done at Rush River under Khulna region, Bangladesh to enhance the effectiveness of abundance for aquatic eco-system. The study was conducted at two different stations such as fresh area and processing plan area of Rush River from July to December of last three years. The investigation was connected with different months, the abundance-distribution of benthos varied and effects of pH on salinity and alkalinity of the river water has been propounded in this article to enhance ecosystem of benthos living. Arthropods were also found in relatively low in number both the fresh and polluted area relatively to the Mollusks. The Mollusks distribution increases up to 77% from June to October in Fresh area but at Polluted area, it reduces 28% than fresh area. Annelid at June-September and October is same but on July-August it's become higher at both type of water. Arthropods reduce 33.3% from June to October in Fresh area but in polluted area it is very rare.

“…Macrobenthos organism all well-known to do a various task in water such as, part of the food web, improving sediment strcuture, nutrient cycles, translocation of materials and decomposition in the ecosystem, macrobenthos in several studies is used as biomonitoring and contaminants quality, macrobenthos are inhabiting the same locality throughout their life [5][6]. Conducted studies using macrobenthic as bioindicator is a popular method in determining environmental changes in coastal area, macrobenthos are known as animals without spines living on the sediment [7][8].…”

stability of Coastal water ecosystem could have an effect on mangrove vegetation and anthrophogenic activities. This stability correlates significantly with the structure of the macrobenthic mollusk community in the area, some of this biota are bioindicator agents. This study aims to assess the ecological functions of macrobenthic molluscs, evaluate the spatial and temporal differences in their community structure, and analyze their correlation to environmental parameters in aquaculture and mangrove areas in the Karimunjawa Islands, Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia. Purposive random sampling method was conducted at KJABB-IMTA aquaculture and mangrove areas between July and September 2021. Collected data were analyzed using k-dominance curve, NMDS ordination, PCA, and BIO-ENV using Primer 6.1.5 software. Based on Paired T Test result, comparison between each location showed significant difference (t=15.916, P<0.05, dF=5) meanwhile comparison between each sampling period showed insignificant result. The highest abundance and diversity were found in the aquaculture area and dominated by gastropods. Significant differences occurred in the structure of macrobenthic molluscs between the two study locations (t=15.916, P<0.05, df=5), while the comparison between their composition and abundance between sampling times was not significant. The abiotic elements that primarily impact the structure of macrobenthic mollusks are the particle size composition of the substrate (mud) and dissolved oxygen (DO) based on PCA and BIO-ENV analysis (BIO-ENV; r=0.733).

“…Benthic organisms (also called benthos) refer to those little animals living in the tidal flat; they successfully adapt to the dynamic tidal flat environment (Chowdhury et al, 2022;Sukumaran et al, 2021;van der Wal et al, 2017). Little as they are, benthic animals take active parts in the feedback between seawater action and sediment mixing processes due to their large numbers.…”

Benthic macrofauna under extremes

Extreme weather events are increasing in intensity, duration, and frequency, and threatening tidal flat ecosystems due to global climate change. Benthic macrofauna plays essential roles in biogeomorphic feedback as ecosystem engineers, yet they are prone to extreme environmental fluctuations in storms and drying tidal regimes. Moreover, modern globalization has accelerated the invasion of introduced species, which compete with native species for natural resources. Therefore, studying how benthic macrofauna responds to climate-change-induced extreme weather events may convey an essential message on short-term equilibrium and the long-term development of tidal flat ecosystems. A mesocosm system was designed and customized in the lab to mimic the heatwaves with contrasting magnitudes and durations on tidal flats. Simulated heatwaves were imposed on the model bioturbator species Cerastoderma edule living in different micro-topographies and sediment types, to study the response of bioturbation activities under thermal stress (Chapters 2 & 3). Besides individual-level response, an in-situ experiment was applied to study the effects of repeated storm events on benthic community structure, using a raking treatment to mimic storm-induced sediment disturbance (Chapter 4). Moreover, the effects of compound extreme weather events on species shift were studied by imposing different salinity settings and heatwave profiles on the native C. edule and an introduced bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum (Chapters 5). Macrobenthos' response on the individual level is categorized into the “fight, flight, or freeze” framework. Bioturbators increase metabolic rates to “fight” against the thermal stress and maintain optimal physiological conditions (Chapters 2); they burrowed deeper during low tide to escape from (“flight”) the thermal stress, thereby causing more sediment mixings (Chapters 2 & 3); they reduce activity and metabolism (“freeze”) to maintain basic physiological functions under acute extreme stress or long-term intermediate stress (Chapter 5). On the community level, internal environmental stress can select species with specific biological traits, while species with unfitting traits decrease in abundance (Chapter 4). Moreover, compound extreme weather events may create “disturbance-driven establishing windows” that benefit the introduced species to overtake native species (Chapter 5).
