Study of epifauna and meiobenthos by means of cage experiments in a Ceriops tagal and Avicennia marina mangrove at Gazi Bay (Kenya) in August and September 1992

Abondance et distribution des invertébrés

Abiotic parameters and densities of meio-and epifauna taxa and nematode genera present at several depths in the cages, half cages and blanco's of an Avicennia marina and Ceriops tagal mangrove at Gazi Bay sampled between 06 August and 27 September 1992. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Steyaert, M. (1993). Structurele en trofische relaties tussen meiobenthos en epifauna in Ceriops mangroves (Gazi Bay, Kenya); Structural and trophic relationships between meiobenthos and epifauna in Ceriops mangroves (Gazi Bay, Kenya). MSc Thesis. Universiteit Gent: Ghent. 118 (vol1), appendix (vol 2) pp. The specific relationships between the epifauna and the meiofauna were studied by means of a cage experiment in a mangrove swamp with a Ceriops tagal and Avicennia marina vegetation located at Gazi Bay (Kenya). The experimental setup consists of three cages, three half cages and three blanco’s (surface 1 m^2). All epifauna was removed in the cages in order to study the effects of epifaunal exclusion. Sampling occurred every five days during one month.
