Epibenthic fauna along the salinity gradient in the Westerschelde area in 1990

Description in English

The epibenthic fauna was collected with the R. V. 'Luctor' with a 3 metre beam trawl every month during 1990. Forty-five epibenthic species were found in the study area and dominated by brown shrimp Crangon crangon, lozano's goby Pomatoschistus lozanoi, sand goby P. minutus, dab Limanda limanda and shore crab Carcinus maenas.
