Sediment macrofaunal abundance and family richness from inner Andvord Bay to the open continental shelf

Sediment macrofaunal data collected by megacore (10-cm diameter sample tubes) along a down-fjord transect from inner Andvord Bay out onto the open continental shelf on the West Antarctic Peninsula. Sediment core samples from 0 - 10 cm depths were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, sieved on a 300 micron seiv...

Description
Summary:Sediment macrofaunal data collected by megacore (10-cm diameter sample tubes) along a down-fjord transect from inner Andvord Bay out onto the open continental shelf on the West Antarctic Peninsula. Sediment core samples from 0 - 10 cm depths were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, sieved on a 300 micron seive, and sorted with a dissecting microscope.
