LTER GCE ECO. - Mollusc pop. Abun. Mon.: Fall 2000 mid-marsh and creekbank infaunal and epifaunal mollusc Abund. based on coll. from GCE marsh, mon. sites 1-10

This data set is the Fall 2000 estimate of infaunal and epifaunal mollusc
abundance at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Species
abundance was determined by hand-collecting all the infaunal and epifaunal
molluscs from within quadrats of known area in mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n
= 4 quadrats per zone) at all sites. The molluscs were returned to the lab,
fixed in fomalin, transferred to and preserved in ethanol, counted and measured
(size data is reported separately). The counts were converted to number per
square meter. Gastropod species are listed first, followed by bivalve species.
Size distribution data for these collections may be found in the GCE-LTER data
set INV-GCEM-0305a2.
