Description

Presence, density and biomass data for ichtyofauna and epibenthos sampled in the STAUFFER discharge area between 1977 and 1981 and comparison of these data with some coastal reference points choosen in the Belgian Part of the North Sea. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Maertens, D.; Vanhee, W. (1985). Analyse van de levensgemeenschappen op het Belgisch Kontinentaal Plat: studie van de epibenthale fauna en van de demersale Pisces in het lozingsgebied voor thiocarbamaat afvalstoffen. Partim: biologisch monitoring onderzoek 1977-81. Rapport Stauffer/MON/BIO/4/81. Rijksstation voor Zeevisserij: Oostende. 10 + annexes pp.

Additional info

Species list of epibenthos and fish in and around the Stauffer discharge area in 1977-1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981. Density, biomass, dominance and diversity of fish and epibenthos from 1977 to 1981. Stauffer densities of most important groups of epibenthos and fish and some commercial fish and shrimp are compared with those sampled at some choosen reference points (Oostende, Zeebrugge, Koksijde, Nieuwpoort and Blankenberge).
