Dear sir/madam,
I m going to write a paper on classification of trophic status of a wetland by using Secchi disc depth, total phosphorous and chlorophyll a content as mentioned in Carlson,s trophic index.I did analyse the variation of molluscs abundance in those sampling sites for my undergraduate research project.I want to know whether i can incoperate the variation of benthic molluscs with respect to eutrophication status in those sampling sites for my paper.Please be kind enough to send me information , if u have.It will be grateful help,if u can give those your valuable knowledge.
Regards,
Aravinda Bellanthudawa
You have to determine how you will measure eutrification status and then you can correlate it with mollusc numbers. However, your ecosystem is not a wetland, it is a marine environment, even though some countries define marine areas as wetlands. A wetland must have a source of freshwater, although they can be intermittently inundated by saline water :)
