*Data files: PO-82xx - PO-86xx.

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

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

*Expedition: Monthly cruises each year, biginning in February to October
(1982-1986), in 7-17 stations settled on 5 and 20 m izobaths, in front of
Navodari, North Constantza, South Constantza, North Eforie, South Eforie,
Costinesti, Tuzla, Mangalia and Vama Veche.

*Parameters: Total biomass (mg/m3), total density (ind/m3).

*Instruments and methods: Sampling on horizons (0-0, 10-0, 20-10 m) with Djedi
net having 36 cm diameter and 200 microns mesh size; samples treated on ship-
board with 4% formaldehide; in laboratory each sample was quantitatively
(numerical densities and biomasses on species) and qualitatively analyzed
using plankton-microscope. Biomasses calculated using the individual wet-
weights given by Petipa (1959).

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

*Expedition: One cruise in September (1984-1988) and October 1989
4 transects with 8-14 stations in front of Portita, Chituc,
Midia, Constantza.

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

*Instruments and methods: Sampling on depths on bathymetric zones
10-20m, 20-30m, 30-40m, 40-50m with Van Veen grab (1/20m2);
