Jervis Bay Infauna Data from Seagrass Beds 1988-1991

This dataset contains species distribution, abundance and identity data of benthic invertebrates from Jervis Bay, NSW. Infauna samples from Posidonia australis seagrass beds were sampled at 4 sites and unvegetated subtidal sediments were obtained from 6 sites between October 1988 and July 1991. Taxa identified consisted of 248 species of arthropods, 197 species of molluscs, 171 species of polychaetes, 15 species of echinoderms and a few other animals. Results of the study has shown that the infauna of both the seagrass beds and unvegetated sediments in Jervis Bay is rich and diverse. The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

本数据集包含新南威尔士州杰维斯湾底栖无脊椎动物（benthic invertebrates）的物种分布、丰度与物种鉴定数据。1988年10月至1991年7月期间，研究团队在4个采样点采集了澳洲波喜荡（Posidonia australis）海草床的底栖内栖生物（infauna）样本，并从6处无植被潮下带沉积物生境获取了对应样品。本次鉴定的类群涵盖248种节肢动物（arthropods）、197种软体动物（molluscs）、171种多毛类环节动物（polychaetes）、15种棘皮动物（echinoderms）以及少量其他动物类群。本研究结果表明，杰维斯湾海草床与无植被潮下带沉积物中的底栖内栖生物群落均具有较高的物种丰富度与多样性。该数据集是杰维斯湾海洋生态研究（Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study）的组成部分。备注：因原始数据库已遗失，目前仅可获取《JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report》（杰维斯湾基线研究最终报告）中已发表的相关数据。
