Abstract

A quantitative study of the sand beach meiofauna was conducted at Raoued Beach during December, 1970. The abundance of the meiofauna ranged from 49 to 285 specimens per 10 cm super(2) in the wave-wash zone and 5 to 22 per 10 cm super(2) in the 40 cm water table. Differences in extraction efficiency using magnesium chloride and ethyl alcohol are presented and the significance discussed.
