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

*Ship name: Marea or Palamida (RMRI, Constantza, Romania), NH and NDD
(Military Navy), Constantza.

*Expedition:In November 1981 and May 1982 May on 3 transects
with 6-8 stations, in the north (Sf.Gheorghe), middle (Chituc)
and south (Mangalia) of Romanian littoral.

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

*Instruments and methods: Sampling on depths on bathymetric zones:
50-50m, 60-70m, 70-80m, 100-120m 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.
