Kendall, M., S. Widdicombe, 1999: Plymouth sound dataset. Soft sediment macrobenthos from the Plymouth Sound from 1995. Plymouth Marine Laboratory, UK. https://doi.org/10.14284/297
The intended use of this dataset of the Plymouth Sound was the description of small-scale spatial patterns in soft sediment fauna. 44 stations were sampled for macrofauna around the British Isles during the period of July and August 1995
