The sampling was done on annual basis for three years from 2002 to 2004 , and the samples were taken using a Van Veen. A total of 258 species were identified. Benthic macroinvertebrate composition was dominated by the presence of Mollusca and Crustaceans that made up 63% of the species. Anellida represented 11.6% of species, followed by Echinodermata and Tunicata with 7.4 and 7.8% respectively and Porifera with 5.1% of the total species identified. Briozoa and Cnidaria accounted for about 3 and 2%. During the three years of study the benthic community remained almost constant. http //doi.org/10.23728/b2share.29aaa071fe564bc6a04b2d09583275b5 Metadata Provider Ermelinda Prato /node/13010 Dataset ermelinda.prato PRATO ERMELINDA
