Experimental data using benthic mesocosm facility at Solbergstrand, Norway. - 4 box cores containing four cages. Cages= two replicates of two densities of Brissopsis. Samples taken inside cages. Samples taken outside cages = controls

This dataset is the result of a laboratory experiment to determine the response of benthic nematode communities to different pollutants in various doses and in two sediment types. The Lynher estuary is characterised by muddy sediments, whereas the Exe estuary is sandy.

Meiobenthos data, as well as data on water parameters and sediment parameters, was gathered at 8 stations along the Turkish Black Sea coast, during 12 sampling events, at 2 depths (3 and 10m). All data is restricted.

This dataset, compiled in the framework of a Msc thesis, contains information on the meiobenthic communities of six different stations in the Southern Bight of the North Sea, together with information on a number of environmental parameters.

This dataset was the first of its kind, making use of simplified ecosystem models or so-called microcosms to examine the effects of different frequencies of physical disturbances on meiofaunal communities.

Length and widt data were collected for 4233 nematode individuals. For each genus, the feeding type was determined (when possible). Samples were taken at depths ranging from 160 m to 1220 m, in two replicates.

This dataset is a collection of several sampling campaigns dealing with meiobenthos on different locations and times.

Overview of most abundant benthic species and their related densities in the Sluice Dock between 1976 and 1981. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Thielemans, L.K.H.; Heip, C.H.R.; Van Gansbeke, D. (1982).

Abundance and biomass of <i>Tachidius discipes</i> life stages sampled every 3 days between 21 March and 25 June 1979 in the 'Dievengat' (Knokke). The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Guillemijn, B. (1980).

In the framework of the OMEX-programme (Ocean Margin Exchange, CEC-MAST II), data were collected on the metazoan meiobenthos along the continental slope of the Goban Spur.
