“…Biomass estimates of macrobenthic infauna were determined from which it was suggested that high estimates are related to enhanced primary productivity at the Subtropical Convergence near New Zealand (Probert and McKnight, 1993). The foraging and locomotory activities of marine invertebrates were observed to influence benthic community structure by reducing the abundance of sessile and/or tubiculous benthos (Aitken and Fournier, 1993). No detectable effectof eutrophication on meiofauna density or vertical distributions in the western English Channel, France, were observed, indicating that other abiotic and biotic factors influence distributions (Le Guellec and Bodin, 1992).…”
