Benthic grab data from October 1994 in the Lower Bay of New York/New Jersey Harbor

Benthic grab samples were collected using a Shipek grab at pre-determined locations in the harbor. Taxonomic enumerations and biological community parameters were estimated from grab samples and used to assess habitat conditions in conjunction with sediment profile images taken at the same stations. All data were entered into a database, and habitat classes were defined for each station. The da...

采用Shipek抓斗，于港湾内预定的位置采集底栖抓取样本。通过对抓取样本进行分类计数和估算生物群落参数，并与同站位的沉积物剖面图像相结合，对栖息地条件进行评估。所有数据均录入数据库，并为每个站位定义了栖息地类别。
