*Ship name: NH 112 (Military Navy, Constantza, Romania.

*Expedition: In October 1991 on 4 transects
( east of Sf.Gheorghe, Chituc, Constantza, Mangalia) with 6 stations.

*Parameters:Zoobenthos total biomass (g/m2).

*Instruments and methods: Sampling on depths on bathymetric zones:
30-40m 40-50m, 50-60m, 60-70m with Van Veen grab (1/20m2). Samples
treated on board with 4% formaldehyde. In laboratory each sample
was sieved by 1mm, 0.25mm, 0.10mm mesh screen. Animals were removed
under a microscope, identified to species and counted. The biomasses
of organisms smaller than 2mm were calculated using tables of weights
and of those larger than 2mm by weighting.
