Description
Presence and density data for ichtyofauna and epibenthos sampled in and around the aniline discharge area between 1982 and 1984 and comparison of the spring sampling data with two coastal reference zones choosen in the Belgian Part of the North Sea. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Maertens, D. (1987). Analyse van de levensgemeenschappen op het Belgisch Kontinentaal Plat: studie van de epibenthische biocoenoses en van de demersale Pisces in het lozingsgebied voor afvalstoffen afkomstig van een anilineproduktie. Mededelingen van het Rijksstation voor Zeevisserij (CLO Gent), 219. CLO Gent: Gent. 28 pp.
