Description
Density, species richness and diversity of epifauna and demersal fish is being monitored on the Belgian Part of the North Sea since 1979. more
Sampling campaigns are organised two times a year, one in spring and one in autumn on a number of stations spread over the Belgian Continental Shelf. The macrobenthos is sampled with a Van Veen grab with a sampling surface of 0.1m². After fixation the samples are sieved on a 1 mm sieve and sorted in the lab, identified, counted and wheighed. The used parameters are density, species richness and diversity.
