| Description | |
| Summary | The collection contains data on composition, biomass, diversity and evenness of the infaunal benthic communities at two stations in the Ria de la Coruna since 1982. The data is recorded on EXCEL. There is also data on annual production of dominating species. The samples were taken with a 'box corer' dredge and were sieved with a 0.5 mm mesh. The best sampling frequency was monthly, although there are some blank periods. There is data since 1982 which could perhaps be used in the study of climatic changes. The information is available to any user, prior agreement with the author. |
