Abstract
⺠Do nematode and macrofauna provide similar ecological assessment information? ⺠Changes in density and composition of both estuarine assemblages were observed. ⺠The performance of the ecological indices (MI, ITD and BAT) was different. ⺠The ecological assessment information varied between stretches and “target” community. ⺠Optimally, both groups should be complementary used in monitoring programs.
