title in English
Analysis of macrobenthos in the Southern Bight of the North Sea (1971-1972)
Description in English
The first part of the dataset contains species frequencies for all sampling stations during the sampling period. In the second part species are clustered in station groups and density and biomass was calculated for each species in the station group. In the last part species density observations are given for some sampling stations. Additionally grain size analysis was done for each sampling location.
Abstract in English
Species frequencies, density and biomass for macrobenthos sampled in the Southern Bight of the North Sea between May 1971 and September 1972 and sediment grain size data for all 60 sampling locations. Samples were taken using Van Veen grabs. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Govaere, J. (1978). Numerieke analyse van het makrobenthos in de Southern Bight (Noordzee). PhD Thesis. Rijksuniversiteit Gent: Gent. 220, 122 tab. [2 delen] pp.
