Counts, density and biomass of macrobenthos species for 20 stations sampled in the Western Scheldt estuary on 27-28 September 1978. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Vermeulen, Y. (1980). Studie van het makrobenthos van het Westerschelde-estuarium. MSc Thesis.

On 27 and 28 September 20 stations in the Western Scheldt (Ossenisse, Valkenisse, Terneuzen and Vlissingen) were sampled using a Van Veen grab (3 replica's per station). A list of species is given for each sampling station. For each station replica (total of 60) density and biomass is noted. Lineage
