Macrozoöbenthos op acht stations in de Oosterschelde 1983-1989: presentatie data

This report presents data on the macrozoobenthos of 8 permanent stations in the Oosterschelde, during 1983-89. Data on abiotic characteristics of the different stations are included.Based on the 11 biomass-dominant species, the situation in the period before the construction of the storm-surge barrier (1983-84) is described.
