Ecology of the benthic communities of the deep North East Atlantic
Deep benthic communities of the Bay of Biscay (North East Atlantic) have been thoroughly sampled during seven cruises between 1972 and 1974.Some 200 samples using three main types of gear (corer, epibenthic sled and beam trawls) have been performed. Sediment characteristics (granulometry, organic co...
