The hyperbenthos of subtidal sandbanks on the Belgian Continental Shelf: habitats and indicator species Citable as data publication Willems, K.; Cattrijsse, A.; Marine Biology Research Group - Ugent: Belgium; (2004): The hyperbenthos of subtidal sandbanks on the Belgian Continental Shelf: habitats and indicator species. Marine data Archive. https://doi.org/10.14284/531 Contact: Cattrijsse, André Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description The structural biodiversity of the hyperbenthos of subtidal sandbanks on the BCS is studied. Furthermore, ecological indicator species are determined which can be usefull parameters for policy makers.
