Summary
Neva Bay is an eutrophic area. Decomposition of macroalgae causes seasonal (late July - August) hypoxic and anoxic conditions in the coastal zone of the Neva estuary. Hypoxia and anoxia have changed the structure and dynamics of invertebrate communities according to the species' degree of adaptability.
