Note

A comparison of shallow water benthic macrofauna collected with hand-held cores and a suction sampler showed that the core method provided the best estimate of macrofaunal density and composition. In a bare sand habitat, suction methods collected 72.8% fewer individuals per unit surface area of sediment. The difference was 32.6% in a seagrass (Halodule wrightii) habitat.
