Overview of monthly epibenthic fauna in a marine and brackish zone along the salinity gradient of the Westerschelde in 1990. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Puturuhu, L. (1994). Density, biomass and feeding consumption of some demersal fish along salinity gradient in the Westerschelde area. MSc Thesis. RUG: Gent. IV, 44 pp.

Epibenthos and demersal fish monitoring in function of dredge disposal monitoring

Data on abundances of <i>Agonus cataphractus</i> and stomach contents with special attention to the presence of <i>Crangon crangon</i>. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Gabriels, I. (1977). Quantitatieve studie van de predatie-mortaliteit van Crangon crangon (L.) door Agonus cataphractus (L.). BSc Thesis.

Epibenthos and demersal fish monitoring at long-term monitoring stations Trawl samples were taken within the disposal site and outside the disposal site (close neigbourhood) (classic controle/impact design). Sampling activities were in February-March and in September/October. A 8 meter shrimp beam trawl (22 mm mesh in the cod end) equipped with a bolder chain was used.The net was towed during 30 or 15 minutes at an average speed of 4 knots.

Study of the epibenthos and fish community at the nuclear power station in Doel (Western Scheldt) during the period September 1991-February 1992. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Maebe, S. (1992).

MAR-ECO (2003 - 2010) was an international exploratory study of the animals inhabiting the northern mid-Atlantic.

This dataset contains individual counts of fish species sampled in the seagrass beds and mangrove creeks of Gazi Bay (10 locations, 41 species) on 17 and 19 July 1996. Sampling was carried out using a beam trawl (fine mesh: 6mm width). The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Dethier, K. (1997).

Abiotic and biotic parameters measured in a field experiment to investigate the effect of predation by epibenthos on infaunal macrobenthos of a <i>Ceriops tagal</i> tropical mangrove monthly sampled between August 1992 and December 1992. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Garcia de Camargo, M. (1995). Interactions between macrobenthic epifauna and infauna in a Ceriops tagal mangrove at Gazi Bay, Kenya.
