## Biomass of marine animals in colonizing experiments in Baltic Sea

### Description

A numeric vector of biomass of species of benthonic marine invertebrates that colonized experimental containers laid in the Baltic Sea.

### Usage

    data(ARN82.eB.apr77)

### Format

Named vector of positive numbers. Labels are a sequential numeric code for species, in the same sequence as the original table.

### Details

Each value is the biomass of invertebrate species sampled in 13 containers laid in the seafloor,as reported in Table I in Arntz & Rumohr (1982). After the first year of exposition, 13 containers were recovered every two months, starting in December 1976. Data are from containers recovered in April 1977.
