Abstract
⺠we five small estuaries with different levels of anthropogenic pressures were studied. ⺠Fish-based multimetric indices were used to differentiate ecological conditions. ⺠The correspondence of indices results to anthropogenic pressures was examined. ⺠Systems with equal levels of pressure were assign with different ecological status. ⺠Indicators were unable to distinguish natural from anthropogenic perturbations.
