Community structure and seasonal fluctuation of macrobenthos in a Ceriops tagal mangrove sediment at Gazi Bay in 1992 and 1993
Density and biomass of most important macrobenthos taxa and families and nematoda genera for monthly samples of the upper layer of a Ceriops tagal sediment at Gazi Bay. Additionally sediment granulometry and abiotic parameters were measured. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Pratiwi, R. (1995). Community structure and seasonal fluctuation of macrobenthos of Ceriops tagal mangrove sediments at Gazi Bay, Kenya. MSc Thesis. Universiteit Gent - Faculteit Wetenschappen, Vakgroep Biologie: Gent. 106 pp. Samples of the upper layer (0-2 cm) were taken using a stack tube of 12.5 cm diameter on a monthly basis. A broad range of abiotic factors (% mud, % sand, % coarse sand, POM, total carbon, pH, salinity, redox, DO, temperature, Chla and fucoxanthine) were measured.
