The meiobenthos of a dumping site in the Southern Bight of the North Sea was examined as part of a PhD thesis. Next to the faunistic research, it also examined the link between abiotic parameters and the characteristics of presen nematode communities.

This dataset, compiled in the framework of a Msc thesis, contains information on the meiobenthic communities of six different stations in the Southern Bight of the North Sea, together with information on a number of environmental parameters.

Gegevens over densiteiten en soortensamenstelling van copepoden op een sublittoraal zandig station (station 50) in de Noordzee.

Study of the species composition of the copepod community at the Southern Bight of the North Sea, in relation to environmental variables.

The Darwin mounds area was sampled to investigate the importance of local-scale topographic features and small-scale biogenic structures in influencing the density and diversity of the associated meiobenthic communities and nematodes in particular.

Het aantal individuen per soort van benthische copepoden werd geteld voor een station op de Kwintebank en op de Gootebank op de Belgische Continentale Plaat.

The general aim of this dataset was to describe and investigate the biodiversity and zonation patterns of nematodes in relation to several abiotic factors.

Data were collected as part of the Ocean Margin Exchange (OMEX) project of the EU. The general aim was to compare the densities, biomass and mean individual weight from meiofauna and macrofauna along the continental slope of the Goban Spur.

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.
