Abstract:
This dataset contains information on macrofauna from within the German Bight, where corresponding demersal fish Buglossidium luteum (solenette) was also sampled. At each station, three replicate samples were collected for the macrofauna. Samples were taken with a 0.1 m² van Veen grab (weight: 90 kg) and sieved through a 1000 μm mesh size sieve. Samples with a grab penetration depth of <10 cm into the sediment were discarded. Similarly, samples were discarded when gravel or shell debris prevented the proper closure of the grab. Whenever samples had to be discarded, additional samples were taken to achieve a total of three replicate samples per station. The retained fauna was fixed in buffered 4% formalin-seawater solution. Whenever possible, individuals of the macroinfauna were identified to the species level. Occasionally, preservation or damage of individuals resulted in the loss of diagnostic features. In those cases, individuals were determined at a higher taxonomic level. All taxa were quantified in terms of abundance and biomass (wet mass), and stored in 70% ethanol.
