Comments

The station forms part of the Pectow monitoring initiated in 1986, but the methodology implemented during this survey differ from the historical monitoring (grab, number of replicates, sieving).

In winter, in addition to the 5 benthic samples and 1 sediment sample collected, other samples will be collected in order to do isotopic analyses:

• 5 samples with Van Veen grab;
• 5 trawls with a benthic trawl of 3m;
• 2 trawls with a suprabenthic sledge;
• 2 zooplanktonic samples.
