Spatial Patterns of Westerschelde Meiobenthos
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1994Abstract The meiobenthic fauna of the Westerschelde, a highly polluted and physically disturbed estuary in the south-west Netherlands, was investigated. Samples were taken in spring from six transects, including the intertidal, subtidal and channel area, and located along the salinity gradient.

Regional Studies in Marine Science, 2018
Abstract The meiofauna was studied at 7 stations in the eastern part of the Kara Sea shelf and at the southern edge of the Voronin Trough. The total meiofaunal abundance was 682 ± 403 ind./10 cm2 and 10 major meiofaunal taxa were recorded for the eastern part of the Kara Sea.

Persistent effects of physical disturbance on meiobenthos in mangrove sediments
Marine Environmental Research, 2006Disturbance is an important factor in structuring ecological communities, exerting its influence through changes to the physical environment and to the trajectories of successional processes. Marine environments are subject to a wide range of disturbances and while much is known about the effects of disturbance on macrobenthos in unconsolidated ...

The Intertidal Meiobenthos of the Bahía Blanca Estuary
2021The first studies involving the interstitial metazoan community of the Bahia Blanca Estuary started in 2007. Since then, three species of harpacticoid copepods and three species of nematodes have been described, and numerous species of turbellarians, as well as tardigrades and kinorhynchs, have been registered living in the intertidal sediments of the ...

Biological Reviews, 1969
Summary1. The term ‘meiobenthos’ (or ‘meiofauna’) has been used in the literature in a broad sense to designate collectively small individuals, mainly metazoans, which could be separated from the larger animals by fine sieves of about i mm. or 0.5 mm. mesh. It has been variously defined in terms of the sampling or sorting technique employed.

The Establishment of an Automatic Separation System for Marine Meiobenthos
2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005Research of the marine meiobenthos is of great value in the marine ecology and the marine mineralogy. At present, picking up meiobenthos from the sedments manually under microscope is still prvalent in spite of the large consumption of human power and time. So that in this paper, an automatic separation system was established. The excellent performance

Meiobenthos provides a food resource for young cyprinids
Journal of Fish Biology, 2010Young individuals of the bottom-biting (i.e. sediment-ingesting) common carp Cyprinus carpio and gudgeon Gobio gobio consumed significant amounts of nematodes in laboratory experiments, whereas the selective-feeding roach Rutilus rutilus did not. In mesocosm enclosure experiments in the field, C.

Shallow water meiobenthos of the bermuda platform
Oecologia, 1970The distribution and abundance of subtidal meiobenthos were studied monthly from June 1967 through May 1968 at five stations on the Bermuda platform: Two in Castle Harbor, two in Baileys Bay, and one in Harrington Sound. Total number of individuals ranged from 12.2-133.3x104/m2 and dry weight biomass from 33-259.3 mg/m2.

Meiobenthos in marine coastal sediments
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2013Abstract The term meiobenthos refers to a group of invertebrate organisms that are intermediate in size between macro- and microfauna, and inhabit all sediment types in all marine environments and in all climatic zones. They may occur at enormously high densities of millions of individuals per square metre; this means that 10 cm
