Human induced eutrophication leading to hypoxia is increasingly impacting coastal areas. Coastal upwelling systems are naturally highly productive, making it difficult to distinguish between organic matter inputs derived from natural processes and anthropogenic disturbances. This concept is newly characterised here as the “Upwelling Ecosystem Quality Paradox”. Soft-bottom macrobenthic communities have been widely used as indicators for the detection of impacts of disturbances on the biota. I evaluated the performance of several biotic indices to assess ecological conditions in a Northern Chile bay subject to natural upwelling that displays naturally shallow hypoxia and hosts an industrial hub. Results highlight limitations of commonly used ...
