Abstract
Many human activities can greatly influence and alter the health of aquatic ecosystems. In this regard, the quantitative analysis of macroinvertebrates and their relationships with ecological variables is an effective method in environmental monitoring programs. Here, we used the benthic macroinvertebrate community as bioindicators for assessing anthropogenic impacts on coastal waters in southeast Bangladesh. Sediment samples were collected seasonally from three different sites influenced either by mangrove forests, aquaculture activity or sewage input. The indicator value index (IndVal) analysis revealed 23 species of benthic macroinvertebrates as potential bioindicators namely Enigmonia aenigmatica, Mactra chinensis and Pharella javanica of the class Bivalvia; Tubifex tubifex of the class Clitellata; Lithopoma brevispina, Bullia vittata, Pomacea maculata and Umbonium vestiarium of the class Gastropoda; Gammarus roeselii of the class Malacostraca; and Amphicteis gunneri, Amphitrite ornata, Aricidea simplex, Cirratulus cirratus, Heterospio catalinensis, Hypereteone foliosa, Lopadorrhynchus henseni, Neanthes chingrighattensis, Micronephthys oligobranchia, Nephtys hombergii, Nereis jacksoni, Nereis zonata, Polyodontes maxillosus and Stygocapitella subterranean of the class Polychaeta. Their composition across three sites varied significantly (P < 0.05) due to influence of environmental conditions as inferred from redundancy analysis. Polychaeta, Gastropoda and Malacostraca were susceptible to sewage input, while Bivalvia and Clitellata were susceptible to aquaculture effluent. The results of this baseline study suggest that the identified benthic macroinvertebrate species can potentially be used to monitor anthropogenic disturbances in the marine environment.

Intertidal macroinvertebrate community structure in a subtropical channel is driven by sediment properties across different land-use types.

Abstract
Macroinvertebrate community in the intertidal setup plays an important role in coastal ecosystem functions and biogeochemical cycle. However, different land use pattern may influence on their community structure, diversity, and composition in the coastal ecosystems. Using Van-Veen grab sampler, 60 sediment samples were seasonally collected from mangroves-dominated, aquaculture-dominated, and anthropogenically affected area in the lower intertidal zone of the Kohelia channel of Bangladesh, the Northern Bay of Bengal. We have tasted the variation in sediment properties across three land-use types in this intertidal habitat. To understand the patterns of benthic macroinvertebrate distribution, a neutral community model was applied. Our results showed that community composition and biodiversity of the benthic macroinvertebrate communities varied significantly between mangrove-dominated area with anthropogenically affected areas among the four seasons. The neutral community model revealed that community assembly of benthic macroinvertebrates in the lower intertidal habitats is structured by stochastic processes while sediment properties have significant influence on species distribution and interactions. Results suggested that land-use changes altered sediment properties and could change the diversity and distribution of the macroinvertebrate communities in the lower intertidal habitats.

Glycera sheikhmujibi n. sp. (Annelida: Polychaeta: Glyceridae): A New Species of Glyceridae from the Saltmarsh of Bangladesh. DIVERSITY-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
A new species of glycerid polychaete, Glycera sheikhmujibi, is described from the saltmarsh on the central coast of Bangladesh. The species is identified based on morphological characteristics using both a light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The species is characterized by the presence of three distinct types of proboscideal papillae: type 1 papillae (conical with three transverse ridges), type 2 (conical with a straight, median, longitudinal ridge), and type 3 (round, shorter, and broader, with a straight, median, longitudinal ridge). It has a Y-shaped aileron with gently incised triangular base, almost equal-size digitiform noto- and neuropodial lobes in the mid-body, and long ventral cirri at the posterior end. The new species is compared with its related species, previously described from the Bay of Bengal region. A key to all these species is provided.

Abstract
An estuarine species of Nereididae (Annelida), Neanthesglandicincta (Southern, 1921) has been newly recorded on the eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia located in the South China Sea based on 23 specimens collected from three estuaries (Tumpat, Kelantan Delta, Kelantan; Setiu Lagoon, Terengganu; Kuala Ibai, Terengganu). The morphological characteristics of the Malaysian specimens agree well with those of the previous original description and the redescription of N.glandicincta based on Indian, Myanmar and Singapore specimens. The number of paragnaths in all groups on the proboscis of our Malaysian specimens is within the range of the intraspecific variation of N.glandicincta as shown in the previous descriptions. An identification key to species of the Neanthesglandicincta species complex, which includes two morphologically similar species, is provided.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the possible remedial effects of three marine benthic annelids on organically polluted sediments from the waters of Hatsukaichi Marina, Hiroshima, Japan. Two polychaetes, Perinereis nuntia and Capitella cf. teleta, and an oligochaete, Thalassodrilides sp., were incubated in sediments for 50 days. Their effects on physicochemical properties such as organic matter (loss on ignition), redox potential (Eh), acid volatile sulfides (AVS), and degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were assessed. The polychaetes P. nuntia and C. cf. teleta significantly increased Eh level and decreased AVS level compared with the oligochaete Thalassodrilides sp. and control (without benthic organisms). Total PAH concentration significantly decreased from the initial level with all three groups; Thalassodrilides sp. had a marked ability to reduce PAHs in sediment. These results indicate that benthic organisms have species-specific remediation properties and ecological functions in organically polluted sediments.
