Dataset of meiobenthos in the framework of Manuela.

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.

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.

Data were collected in the framework of a thesis study. The general aim was to give a detailed inventory of the nematode communities present in the Westerschelde area, based on biomass, diversity and physico-chemical characteristics of the sediment.

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.

These data were collected in the framework of a PhD thesis. The main aim of this study was to get a better insight in the nematode fauna living in the Southern North Sea, with an emphasis on morphological, systematic and ecological aspects.

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

Free-living nematode fauna of lake Grevelingen, the Eastern and Western Scheldt was examined over a period of one year in the framework of a PhD thesis.

Data resulted from a series of microcosm experiments designed to examine the differential response of estuarine nematode assemblages

A quantitative small-scale snap-shot investigation on an intertidal sandflat in Jade Bay (North Sea) was conducted.
