Abstract

The macrobenthos was sampled at 42 stations inDecember 1991 within a shallow eutrophic salt marsh pond, known as Palude della Rosa, located inside the VenetianLagoon, Italy. The benthic assemblages showed adistribution pattern made up of three different zonesreferred to in this paper as `Landward Zone',`Central Zone' and `Seaward Zone'. Thiszonation reflected both the distribution of the greenmacroalga Ulva rigidaAgardh and hydrology ofthe basin. The distribution patterns especially relateto the slow exchange of water due to the meanderingnature of channels surrounding the Palude dellaRosa.
