Abstract

A simple laboratory method for determining Benthal Oxygen Demand is described. Results of experiments carried out on the Castletown Estuary are given. The Benthal Demand Index is calculated for all stations in the Castletown Estuary to determine the relative effect of Sediment Oxygen Demand from the anoxic muds and Biochemical Oxygen Demand from organic matter in suspension.
