Morrisey, D. J. | Sait, S. M. | Little, C. | Wilson, R. S.
The fauna of the Rivers Avon, Usk and Wye was similar to that for soft sediment in the Severn Estuary. It was dominated by Nereis diversicolor, Corophium volutator, Aiacoma balthica and oligochaetes. Maximum densities of Corophium and Macoma were higher than in the main estuary, while that of Nereis was similar. Distributions of dominant species showed gradients along river length and across river profile. These are discussed.
