| Summary | The collection contains data on composition, biomass, diversity and evenness of the infaunal benthic communities at stations in the Asturias continental margin. 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. Two cruises were carried out to sampling ground from 400-1200 m. |
