Community studies in seagrass meadows: A comparison of two methods for sampling macroinvertebrates and fishes

The effectiveness of using an otter trawl for estimating macrofaunal species ranks and abundances in seagrass meadows is unknown. In this study, we compare the catch effectiveness of the commonly used 5 m otter trawl with that of a 0.9 m wide epibenthic crab scrape for fishes. decapod crustaceans, molluscs, and echinoderms, using data from both day and night collections from a northeast Gulf of Mexico seagrass meadow.
