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

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.

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

North Sea macrobenthos species density and abundance, measured on a regular grid of stations corresponding with ICES standard stations. All sampling was done in spring 1986.
