Abstract
⺠Domestic sewage discharges at low concentrations increase fauna mangrove population parameters, due to the nutrient limitations. ⺠Shrimps in the peri-urban mangrove location were larger, had longer reproductive periods, higher ovigerous females proportions and better embryo. ⺠Physiological indice analysis (RNA/DNA ratio) between pristine and peri-urban mangroves. ⺠Within the peri-urban mangrove, high levels of parasitation by Pseudionee longata caused stress and potential effects on the host population dynamics. ⺠The effects of sewage on P. concinnus population increased the choice of possible bioindicators in East African coastal water.
