Abstract
⺠We analysed the spatial scales of variation of macrofauna under sewage discharges. ⺠Organic enrichment acts as an effective force in structuring the macrofauna. ⺠Variability was also determined by natural intrinsic forces at smaller scales. ⺠Distribution and occurrence patterns indicate a moderate eutrophication state. ⺠Waste management should consider spatial variability as a tool for monitoring.
