  Present study was aimed for the partial judgement of coastal water pollution and accordingly the abundance, diversity as well as the species composition of macrobenthic communities on the sediment of 3 selected stations were carried out following standard methods during January to March, 2015 in Noakhali, Bangladesh. 14 families under 4 major groups yielded a total of 5481 ind./m2 with a mean density of 609 ± 445 ind./m2 during the study. The highest and the lowest number of taxa were identified in January (10) and February (6) respectively during the study period. On the other hand, monthly diversity profile of microbenthic communities showed clear difference in the diversity of all stations which is compatible to the other published results of macrobenthic animal as well. Based on the calculated results from Shannon-Wiener index of microbenthic sp.. View More»
