Distribution of the Zoobenthos on the Dutch Continental Shelf: The Oyster Ground,Frisian Front, Vlieland Ground and Terschelling Bank (1991)

摘要

The objectives of the project in 1991 are to: (1) Compile an inventory of themacrozoobenthos (species composition, density and biomass) and miozoobenthos (taxon composition and density) in the northern part of the environmental zone, mentioned in the Watersystem Management Plan North Sea 1991-1995. (2) Determine the heterogeneity in the spatial distribution of the macrozoobenthos c.q. miozoobenthos. (3) Distinguish similar groups of assemblages by statistical analysis. and (4) Compare and integrate the present data with overlapping stations of the temporal 'trend' monitoring program of Rijkswaterstaat as well as with the survey area that is already being mapped.
