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.

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

Meiobenthos of Sub-Littoral Muds
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1964SUMMARYMeiobenthos, here defined as metazoans passing through a ½ mm screen, is described from core samples collected on muddy grounds at 100-140 m depth in the North Sea and off the west coast of Scotland between February 1962 and August 1963.Sixteen cores of 2·2 cm diameter were collected from Loch Nevis, and 14 from the Fladen ground.

1985
The term “meiobenthos” was introduced by Mare (1942) to describe fauna of intermediate size-animals, smaller than those traditionally classed as “macrobenthos”, but larger than “microbenthos” including bacteria and most protozoa.

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 communities of some subarctic lakes
Hydrobiologia, 1997Meiobenthos communities of 19 relatively small tundra lakes (area 0.2–320 ha) were studied during summer seasons of 1986–1988 and 1993. The lakes are located in the northeastern region of European Russia. All lakes are separated into deep (with mean depth from 2.0 to 8.0 m) and shallow ones (mean depth is less than 1.5 m).

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 ...

Lacustrine profundal meiobenthos as an environmental indicator
Hydrobiologia, 1992Organic loading and eutrophy is indicated at profundal depths by large numbers of resting copepodid stages of cyclopoid copepods, by the occurrence of the naidid oligochaete species, Amphichaeta leydigii and Specariajosinae, and the harpacticoid species Canthocamptus staphylinus, and by a low meiobenthos/ macrobenthos biomass ratio.

Spatial and temporal effects of organic enrichment on meiobenthos
2023Meiofauna assemblages were studied along putative organic enrichment gradients at two marine salmon farms: Loch Ewe, Scotland, U.K. and Nubeena, SE Tasmania, Australia; and a sewage outfall: Sandy Bay, SE Tasmania. The broad objective was to identify any general meiofauna responses to organic enrichment. 1.
