SOFT BOTTOM MACRO FAUNA SPECIES COMPOSITION IN FAROESE FJORDS
index and ES|00 index and compared these
with previous investigations and found a
broad variation mostly due to the differ-
ences in physical environment. Organized
into major taxonomic groups the data
showed a very clear dominance of poly-
chaetes both in species numbers and in
abundance.
