First Application of the AMBI Index to the Macrobenthic Soft-Bottom Community of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Southern Ocean)
The assemblages of marine benthic organisms and sediment characteristics were investi gated in the coastal area between the Mario Zucchelli Antarctic Research Station and Adelie Cove in Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Southern Ocean) during the 2015 summer season. Sediment samples were taken from 11 stati...
