Abstract
A comparison was made between density estimates of estuarine benthos based on artificial substrate sampling and direct observation by divers. Differences suggest that artificial substrates may preferentially sample certain portions of the fauna, leading to erroneous estimates of population size.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
