A towed video survey of Megafaunal bioturbation in the north-eastern Irish sea

摘要

In September 1993 the Irish Sea floor near the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant was surveyed by towed video to assess the distribution, abundance and behaviour of large burrowing invertebvrates believed to be important in the transport and mixing of radionuclide-contaminated sediments. Sixteen stations were surveyed, covering a range of sediment types.
