| Description | |
| Summary | The aquatic fauna of the Western Scheldt is poorly known. The most complete information dates back to the forties. In the present study the fish population dynamics and fish community structure of the brackish part of the Western Scheldt are investigated. Samples are taken monthly at the outlet of the cooling water of the nuclear power station in Doel. The influence of tidal and diurnal cycles on fish intake is investigated. |
