• Description:
  Considering the importance ol New York Bight in transportation, industry, commercial and recreational fisheries, and beach and aquatic recreation, it is surprising that until recently remarkably little was known about its benthic fauna. In the last decade, several intensive studies were initiated of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the Bight and the effects of physical chemical factors, including pollution, on these living resources. This monograph is a summary of those studies.
