“…The general distribution of the polychaete and mollusc larvae (Fig. 6) matched the known distributions of the adult populations recorded by MCLUSKY et aL (1976) and ELLIOT] and KINGSTON (t987), as did the occurrence of fish larvae with ELLIOT]-and TAYLOR (1983,1986). In common with the meroplankton, some holoplanktonic forms were probably temperature dependant in their occurrence, notably the predatory species (although with the gelatinous forms storm-induced turbidity and consequent damage may be a limiting function).…”

“…The only animals observed in these samples were occasional nematodes and a few specimens of a harpacticoid Platychellpus sp. This abiotic zone has been reported in previous surveys of the region (McLusky et al, 1976(McLusky et al, , 1978. The annelid fauna sampled in this study comprised a mean biomass of 27.97 g dry wt m -2 for the Stirling to Kincardine Bridge area, and 6.30 g dry wt m -2 for the area below Kincardine Bridge.…”

“…1). The mudflats of this area {30-38 km} comprise 65 % of the total intertidal area of the Forth estuary, and are recognised as the main birdfeeding areas in the estuary (McLusky et al 1976}. P. benedeni was widely spread in this area, being present at 25 out of 28 stations sampled.…”
