Methods
Samples were live-sieved in the field on 0.5mm wire mesh sieves and allmaterial retained on the screen was preserved with 10% buffered formalin withRose Bengal dye. In the laboratory these previously fixed samples werere-sieved and transferred to a 70%-ethanol solution. All benthic macro-infaunaretained on the 0.5mm screen were identified to the lowest practical taxonomiclevel. usually species. Unit of abundance = AggregatedPresence, Unit of biomass = NA
