Description

Counts of Mysidacea sp. (incl. sex and life stage) sampled at night in Gazi Bay and the West creek during October 1994. 10 night samples were taken using a hyperbenthic sledge trawled by a boat at 25 HP for 10 min (200m). The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Cattaert, S. (1997). Mysidacea van Gazi Bay, Kenya (staalnamecampagne Oktober 1994, nachtstalen); Mysidacea of Gazi Bay, Kenya (field work campagne of 1994, night samples). Thesis. Universiteit Gent: Gent. 19 pp.
