Methodology/work description
• Meiofaunal and macrofaunal community structure (abundance, biomass, species composition and diversity) within the DHABs and along an oxic-anoxic gradient• Comparison of benthic communities among the various DHABs and with those from adjacent sediments outside the influence of DHABs, as well as with those from other reduced environments• Identify specific morphpological and physiological adaptations of different meiofaunal and macrofaunal groups
