This dataset is the updated version of the "TROPHOS/PODO-I work-database Soetaert" dataset. Additional tables with TROPHOS data are added (from Ugent and NIOO).

This dataset is the outcome of research done on the benthic system of the Black Sea Shelf. Data on macrobenthos (density and biomass), oxygen flux to the sediment and sediment characteristics are presented.

This dataset is a collection of several sampling campaigns dealing with meiobenthos on different locations and times.

Length and widt data were collected for 4233 nematode individuals. For each genus, the feeding type was determined (when possible). Samples were taken at depths ranging from 160 m to 1220 m, in two replicates.

Length and width measurements of 800 nematodes from the Indian Ocean. Four stations were sampled, each with two replicates. The sampling depths varied from 50 to 2000 meters. The density (ind/m²) and the SCOC (mmol O2/m²/day) were calculated.

In the framework of the OMEX-programme (Ocean Margin Exchange, CEC-MAST II), data were collected on the metazoan meiobenthos along the continental slope of the Goban Spur.

All nematode data from the North Sea Benthos Survey (NSBS) were compiled in a smaller dataset.
