Abstract

Development of benthic communities were investigated at the Han-Nan 2nd. constructed tidal flat constructed by use of muddy dredged materials in Kishiwada city Osaka prefecture. In this paper, we compared a natural muddy tidal flat with constructed tidal flat about the succession of benthic communities. As the result, benthic communities adapted to muddy substratum were estimated in these experiments. The observed benthic communities resemble to those of natural muddy tidal flat. However, a problem is left unresolved in the use of dredged materials constructed tidal flat in terms of stability of sediment under influence of high waves.
