Summary of measurements

-Benthic macrofauna samples taken with Van Veen grab.
-Benthic fish and megafauna sampled with modified beam trawl (string).
-Sediment samples taken to characterize the nature of sediment and organic matter.
-Core sampling of sediment (Reineck type corer) to sample meiofauna (harpacticoid copepods and nematodes) and for sediment characterization.
-Sources of organic matter sampled (POM in sediment, POM in water column, offshore and coastal) and of consumers to analyze isotope signatures.
