*Ship name: Marea or Palamida (RMRI, Constantza, Romania).

*Expedition: Monthly cruises between 1976 and 1980, 1 transect
with 5 stations, east of Constantza, sampling at the standard depths.

*Parameters: Date (year, month, day), time (hour, minute), latitude
(degrees, minutes), longitude (degrees, minutes), water depth (m),

*Format: Station data file format of the NATO TU-BS project.

*Ship name: Marea or Palamida (RMRI, Constantza, Romania).

*Expedition:Periodically cruises between 1977 and 1980, 1 transect
with 5 stations, east of Constantza.

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

*Instruments and methods: Sampling on depths on bathymetric zones:10-20 m,
20-30m,30-40 m,40-50 m with Van Veen grab(1/20m2); samples treated on
board with 4% formaldehyde.  In laboratory, each sample was sieved by 1mm,
0.25mm and 0.10 mm mesh screen; animals were removed under a microscope,
identified to species and counted. The biomasses of the organisms smaller
than 2 mm were calculated using tables of weights and of those larger
than 2 mm by weighting.
