| Description | |
| Summary | Macrofauna was sampled on Zostera noltii and Zostera marina beds at two different sites of the Mira estuary (site 1 - near the mouth of the river; site 2 - 1 km upstream). For each site, monthly samples were taken by trawling at two different times of the day: 12.00 AM and 12.00 PM. Fish stomach contents were analyzed per length classes for the main species collected. |
