- •
Performance of several univariate and multivariate benthic indices was evaluated.
- •
Macrozoobenthic biodiversity was generally well reflected by land use and activities.
- •
EQR was the most appropriate index for assessing the benthic quality of Korean coasts.
- •
Application of multi-indices was useful for evaluating ecological status vs. pollution.
