The bottom waters oxygen saturation percentage of these different bays is near zero during the low water season. A benthic macrofauna sampling showed that the biotopes are not azoic. Pachymelania aurita), Tympanotonus fuscastus , which are considered as pollution indicating species, were found in most of the polluted bays.
