Summary

Samples of the benthic macrofauna were collected from MAFF research vessels at each of 25 intermediate and offshore stations around the English and Welsh coastlines between 1992 and 1994. This dataset details the infauna present at each sampling station.

At each location, five sediment samples for macrofaunal analysis were collected using a 0.1m2 Day grab from the central point of a 500 m grid of 9 stations, the latter being sampled for contaminant analyses only. The five replicates were collected from within a 100 m range ring, using SEXTANT software and DGPS position-fixing.
