Seasonal Dynamics of Benthic Macrofauna in the Keta Lagoon

Abstract

This study was therefore, undertaken to investigate the seasonal dynamics of benthic macrofauna distribution and abundance in relation to environmental variables of the Keta lagoon. The studyl provides an understanding into benthic ecology in the Keta lagoon. The study also will provide an important baseline information on the likely long-term impacts of constructional activities of Keta Sea Defence Work Project and anthropogenic impacts of the settlements around the lagoon especially from the growing populations on the coastal belt.
