The specific composition and abundance ofbathyal decapods in the Catalan Sea were investigated. A total of 109 bottom trawls were effected at depths ranging from 141 to 730 m on the continental slope in the Catalan Sea (northwestern Mediterranean) during two sampling cruises in spring and autumn 199

Organo-mineral aggregates are more easily remobilized in the benthic boundary layer than in the sediment surface beneath, playing a crucial role in the transport of organic material from the continental shelf to the deep ocean floor. While being transported to greater depths, these aggregates are su
In order to quantify bioturbation processes in a coastal Mediterranean ecosystem, experiments were performed to determine sediment mixing rates resulting from macrobenthos activity. Particle flux was measured in situ for 22 days using luminophores, which are colored sediment particles with sizes ran
