The data contains the abundance, biomass and species number. The water depths of all stations was around 24 metres. Samples were obtained using van Veen grab, sieved with 1 mm sieve and fixed with formalin on board. Sorting with microscopy, taxonomic identification, counting and weighing of the species took place in the laboratory.10.68544910.77713354.53886754.555981Baltic SeaFederal Ministry of Education and Researchhttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000234703F0848ADAM sustainMare - MGF Baltic Sea, IOW
