Description
This database consist data on particulate suspended matter in estuaries. The use of image analysis to quatify SPM mass, Zooplankton body sizes and gut contents was evaluated and improved.
Spatio temporal patterns were studied. Scope Themes: Biology > Ecology - biodiversity, Biology > Plankton, Water composition > Suspended matter - turbidity Keywords: Fresh water, Brackish water, Image processing, Stomach content, Suspended organic matter, Zooplankton, Belgium, Zeeschelde, Belgium, Zeeschelde, Antwerp Harbour, Zandvliet Lock, Belgium, Zeeschelde, Punt van Melsele, Daphnia O.F. Müller, 1785, Eurytemora affinis (Poppe, 1880) Geographical coverage Belgium, Zeeschelde Stations
