The hyperbenthic community of subtidal sandbanks is described (density, species composition) and related to abiotic variables in order to get an idea about the habitats and the biota of the sandbanks. more
Sampling took place at 3 different Sand Banks: the Oosthinder, the Kwintebank and the Thorntonbank. At each bank, 6 stations were sampled, once in spring and once in authumn. Lineage
