Abstract

In an earlier paper (Warwick & Buchanan, 1970) the structure of the nematode communities at three stations off the Northumberland coast was compared. It was shown that the offshore mud community at station ‘C’ was faunistically the most homogenous. This station has been selected for a more intensive investigation of meiofaunal production since it provides the simplest situation for study, and furthermore the type of nematode community found here is thought to be of common occurrence in similar sediments round Northern Britain.
