The main focus of the present research project is to determine and quantify the effect of sediment-bound contaminants on the productivity of benthic macroinvertebrates. The central hypothesis in this study is that sediment pollution leads to a shift in species composition accompanied by a lower productivity of the benthic community, resulting in a decrease of the carrying capacity for fish and waterfowl
