The impact of shrimp effluent on macrobenthos density was investigated in Mazagh creek from July to September 2000. Sampling was carried out by a 0.04 m2 Vanveen Grab in six selected stations. Maximum and minimum frequency consisted of crustacea and nematoda, respectively. The results showed minimum frequency of macrobenthos in stations 1 and 2 in which the outlet channel of the creek mouth is located and maximum frequency of macrobenthos in station 4 and 6 in which inlet channel and Sea are located respectively. A significant difference was observed using one way analysis variance testing between station 1 and station 6 (P<0.05). Results showed macrobenthos frequency increase from July to September although this was not significant (P>0.05) statisitically.
