Distribution of suspended matter in the Scheldt estuary and interaction with mesozooplankton [Verspreiding van zwevende stof in het Schelde estuarium en de relatie met Mesozooplankton] Citation Description This database consist data on particulate suspended matter in estuaries. The use of image analysis to quatify SPM mass, Zooplankton body sizes and gut contents was evaluated and improved.
Spatio temporal patterns were studied.
