Report: Macrozoobenthos: East Frisian Wadden Area between Osterems, Juist and Mainland (1987-1990)»

Description

In the course of an update mapping was carried out in the Years 1987-1990 an inventory of the eulitoral Macrozoobenthos in Western Juister Watt. A total of 102 stations were sampled. The study area covers 109 km² it is divided into 10 biotopes, which are characteristic of the Wadden Coast with comparable settlement. In 78 species of macrozoobenthos were detected. The abundance and biomass determined. In the intertidal area between the East Frisian island Juist and the mainland, part of the Wadden Sea actualising survey of the intertidal Macrozoobenthos was conducted during 1987 until 1990. The investigation area has an extension of 109 km² and is subdivided into 10 habitats of which the comparable faunal communities are characteristic for the coastal reaches of the whole Wadden Sea. The habitates are arranged in a distinct pattern that reflects an exposure gradient from highly exposed (facing the seaside) to sheltered (close to the mainland, behind) the island). 78 animal species were found in the area. Species number/1 m² 10 species Abundance/1 m² 4180 individuals Biomass (ADW)/1 m² 32.6 g
