Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Meiofauna communities from 10 stations along a depth transect from approximately 500 to 2,000 m off the Halley Bay Station (Weddell Sea) are investigated. Representatives of about 30 smallsized taxa of higher category are found, most of them belonging to the meiofauna. Loricifera are recorded for the first time for the Southern Ocean. At one of the stations a maximum of 22 taxa occur, the mean number of taxa ranges from 7 to 16. Nematoda, Harpacticoida, Ostracoda, Polychaeta and Bivalvia are present at all sampling sites. Nematodes are always dominant representing more than 90% of the individuals per sample, followed by harpacticoids (3%) and kinorhynchs (1.2%). Important fractions of the meiofauna (an average of more than 50%) occur in strata below the top 0-1 cm layer. Maximal density is 3,800 individuals (10 cm-2), the mean abundance per station ranges from 790 to 3,720 individuals (10 cm-2) and the overall mean is 1,700 individuals (10 cm-2). Multivariate analysis (TWINSPAN, Cluster analysis, DCA) discriminates between three communities which are correlated with depth and sediment characteristics: the near shelf-ice, the slope and the deep-sea communities.
