Abstract

THERE seems to be little information on the influence of high radiation levels on marine sediments and their subsequent re-colonisation by sedimentary invertebrates. We report here that the benthic amphipod Corophium volutator (Pallas) responds to irradiated sediments in which there have been changes of Eh and microbial viability. Our results are of direct relevance to the microbiological and chemical properties of sediments1–3, and to the role played by microorganisms in habitat selection by benthic invertebrates
