Since the 1970s, the process of anthropogenic water euthrophication and the near bottom hypoxia linked with it, have caused widespread benthos fauna mortality. In addition to this negative phenomenon a lot of contaminations and pollutants are washed out from the fields and the coastal urban agglomerations by the river flow. In the process of sedimentation, the suspended matter is accumulated in the bottom sediments. It reinforces negative changes in benthic habitat conditions. One of the main mo
