The benthic macroinvertebrates and the zooplankton of the shallow (<1.5 m deep) sandy middle regions of the Peel-Harvey Estuary and of the nearby Swan Estuary were sampled seasonally between the winters of 1986 and 1987. Measurements were also taken of the environmental variables in the benthos and in the water column. In comparison with the Swan Estuary, the Peel-Harvey Estuary is highly nutrient enriched and is not as well flushed. As a consequence, the water in the basins of the Peel-Harvey experience large seasonal blooms of the blue-green alga Nodularia spumigena and massive growths of benthic and drifting green algae. The first led to marked seasonal declines in redox values, secchi depths and nocturnal dissolved oxygen and, toget...
