Abstract
Acid dissolution with previous Formalin preservation allows virtually total recovery of the infaunal community in coral rock, making quantitative studies possible. Most groups remain readily identifiable following this treatment. Coral rock samples from gradients of sewage and stream stress suggest a decrease in numbers and biomass with distance from the perturbation.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
