Characterisation of the habitat of the Flemish banks, the maritime country banks and of the hinder banks on the basis of the hyper benthos communities [Habitatkarakterisering van de Vlaamse Banken, de Zeelandbanken en de Hinderbanken aan de hand van de hyperbenthosgemeenschappen] Citation Cattrijsse, A.; Verween, A. ; Marine Biology Research Group - Ugent, Belgium (2004). Characterisation of the habitat of the Flemish banks, the maritime country banks and of the hinder banks on the basis of the hyper benthos communities. http://www.vliz.be/nl/imis?module=dataset&dasid=153. https://marineinfo.org/id/dataset/153 Contact: Cattrijsse, André Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description The hyperbenthic community of subtidal sandbanks is described (density, species composition) and related to abiotic variables in order to get an idea about the habitats and the biota of the sandbanks. more Sampling took place at 3 different Sand Banks: the Oosthinder, the Kwintebank and the Thorntonbank. At each bank, 6 stations were sampled, once in spring and once in authumn.
