Nematode biodiversity data from the North Sea Benthos Survey Citation Heip C. 1986: Nematodes from the NSBS. Netherlands Institute of Ecology, Centre for Estuarine and Marine Ecology, Netherlands.

Benthic samples were taken in a standardised way, on a regular grid covering the whole of the North Sea, and analysed by scientists from 10 laboratories. Extensive work was done to standardise taxonomy and identifications across the different laboratories. A total of just over 1 000 species were reported from 235 stations. Most research however was focused on macrobenthos, while only limited research was done for meiobenthos.
