I want to use the red mangrove roots foulers or epibionts (invertebrates and anemones principally) for to measure impacts of shrimp farming effluents in estuaries of the northern ecuadorian coast.
Tanks a lot, Mr J.C. Tarafdar and Abhijit Mitra. The colombian case is so good for me.
My study are focused to the impacts of the shrimp farming to the northern ecuadorian mangroves, close to the colombian border. I want to integrate water quality data, quality of sediments and some ecological descriptions and indexes in a predictive model (are going to be my doctoral thesis..). The soft bottom benthic community have a lot of indexes related to the ecological status and marine quality but I have interest in the mangroves root foulers or epibionts (if could be named there..) the macroinvertebrates that growth in the red mangroves roots, there are a lot of anemone in the "clean zones" and I suppose that could be a good candidate like to bioindicator of quality of mangroves.
Newly, thanks for your interest
