Sampling comments: "Sampling of the fauna was carried out by pushing an open metal cylinder into
the sediment up to its upper edge, a distance of 56 cm (covering about 0.06 m2 in surface area). Animals were removed by hand... Samples were sieved through screening, with mesh openings measuring 2.3 mm on a side and 3.2 mm on the diagonal"
