Nematoda and Copepoda from the Fal estuary Citation Somerfield, P.J. (1992). Nematoda and Copepoda from the Fal estuary (UK). Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), UK. https://marineinfo.org/doc/dataset/705 Contact: McEvoy, Andrea Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description Fal nematode and copepode abundance and environmental data; samples from November and March, from 5 creeks (Restronguet, Mylor, Pill, St Just, Percuil) more The Fal estuary system presented an ideal site for a natural experiment on the effects of long-term contamination by heavy metals on the meiofaunal communities of an intertidal mudflat, and the short-term effects of a spill of minewaters.
