Presence, density and biomass data for ichtyofauna and epibenthos sampled in and around the dredging areas between 1977 and 1981. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Maertens, D. (1984). Analyse van de levensgemeenschappen op het Belgisch Kontinentaal Plat: studie van de epibenthale biocoenoses en van de demersale Pisces in en rondom de baggerzones. Mededelingen van het Rijksstation voor Zeevisserij (CLO Gent), 201. CLO Gent: Gent. 45, + annexes pp.Additional info
The first part of the dataset contains a list of all epibenthos and fish species caught in and around the dredging areas between 1977 and 1981. Next seven sampling points (BV1-BV7) were choosen in the dredging areas and divided in 2 zones (Zone I and Zone II). Per sampling point and sampling date or period abiotic factors and some exceptional catch data are given. Per zone and per year (1977-1981) average density, biomass, diversity, dominance and association indices for epibenthos and fish is calculated. Eventually density of autumn samplings for most important groups of epibenthos and fish is given.Taxonomic Coverages
