Ce qui menace l’existence de ses baies dont les populations locales en dépendent. Les objectifs de l’étude de la baie&nbsp; d’Attoutou étaient de caractériser les sédiments et de déterminer la distribution de la faune benthique. L’étude sédimentologique&nbsp; consistait à faire une analyse granulométrique et morphoscopique. L’étude du macrofaune consistait à identifier et à dénombrer les organismes. La baie d’Attoutou était composée de vases, puis de sables moyens à grossiers. Ces sédiments ont été moyennement et&nbsp; médiocrement classés et asymétriques. La morphoscopie des grains de quartz a montré une prédominance de grains sub-arrondis, sub- anguleux, émoussés-luisants. Les dépôts étaient d’origine continentale provenant des rivières. La faune benthique regroupait 9 espèces,&nbsp; 6 familles, 5 ordres et 2 classes. Les espèces sont composées de lamellibranches (<i>Loripes aberrans, Iphigenia truncata, Potamocorbula&nbsp; adusta) et de gastéropodes (Pachymelania fusca, Tympanotonos fuscatus var. radula, Tympanotonos foscatus, Melanoides tuberculata,&nbsp; Pachymelania aurita, Neritina sp.)</i>. La nature du substrat, la faiblesse de l’indice de diversité spécifique et la présence d’espèces&nbsp; tolérantes dans un écosystème en cours de dégradation ont mis en évidence un état de pollution de la baie d’Attoutou.","AbstractOtherLang":"The Ebrié lagoon is a catchment area for drainage channels for waste from the socio-economic activities of Abidjan and its suburbs. This&nbsp; threatens the existence of its bays, on which local populations depend. The objectives of the study of Attoutou Bay were to characterise&nbsp; the sediments and determine the distribution of the benthic fauna. The sedimentological study consisted of a granulometric and&nbsp; morphoscopic analysis. The macrofauna study consisted of identifying and counting organisms. Attoutou Bay was made up of mud,&nbsp; followed by medium to coarse sands. These sediments were moderately and poorly graded and asymmetrical. Quartz grain&nbsp; morphoscopy showed a predominance of sub-rounded, sub-angular, blunt-edged grains. The deposits were of continental origin,&nbsp; originating from rivers. The benthic fauna comprised 9 species, 6 families, 5 orders and 2 classes. The species consisted of lamellibranchs&nbsp; (<i>Loripes aberrans, Iphigenia truncata, Potamocorbula adusta) and gastropods (Pachymelania fusca, Tympanotonos fuscatus var. radula,&nbsp; Tympanotonos foscatus, Melanoides tuberculata, Pachymelania aurita, Neritina sp.)</i>. The nature of the substrate, the low specific diversity&nbsp; index and the presence of tolerant species in a degrading ecosystem revealed a state of pollution in Attoutou Bay.&nbsp;&nbsp;","BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Caractérisation sédimentologique et la faune benthique de la baie d’Attoutou Jacqueville, Côte d’Ivoire","OrigTitleLangCode":"fr","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"fre","OrigTitleLangID":22,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-07-25 01:55:26.546793","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-08-04","DateCreate":"2025-08-04","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":0,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.4314/ijbcs.v18i6.8"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":410490,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"2156-2169","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"18","Issue":"6","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":217806,"SerRR":"International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences.
