Abstract
The seasonal changes in macrobenthos structure of estuary during summe r are due to the increase of water salinity. The increase in species n umber, total density, total biomass, equitability, species diversity a nd mean similarity between stations was registered. In consequence, th e structure homogeneity of the community increase accompaning by the s mearing of boundaries between oligohaline, horohaline, brakish and mar ine zone. Biocenology, map and monitoring must take account of these f actors.
