Abstract | Studies of the horizontal distribution of the Plathelminthes in sandy beaches have up to now mainly been carried out on the German island of Sylt where the beaches consist of a steep "Prallhang" and a flat wadden area. Beaches of the Belgian coast are very flat, only gently sloping and with a different sediment compared to the Sylt beaches. This study reports on the distribution of the turbellarians in such a flat beach; the discussion is mainly focussed on the comparison with the results of the German investigators. |
