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 ...

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.

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.

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

A new quantitative sampler for the meiobenthos
Ophelia, 1964Abstract The meiobenthos, which comprises animals with a body length of approximately 0.2–2.0 mm, can be sampled quantitatively by means of a new untraditional grab which is described and figured. It cuts out a square of 150 cm2 of the upper 2–3 cm of the substratum and keeps the sample in a bag of nylon gauze. The instrument has worked successfully in
