This database contains data on population characteristics of the hyper- and epibenthos, sampled in the Scheldt estuary, Belgian coastal waters and Belgian coastal harbours. more
Within the framework of the INRAM project, population characteristics of epibenthos and hyperbenthos were investigated. The epibenthic community was sampled by means of a beam trawl. Vertebrates were sampled quantitalively, whereas invertebrates were sampled qualitatively (except for shrimps, which were also sampled quantitalively). The endobenthic community was sampled both quantitatively and qualitatively by means of a Van Veen grab.
