Benthic biodiversity along the central coast in the Brazilian EEZ (OBIS South America, BRAZIL)

This work presents a characterization of the phyto- and zoobenthos from the continental shelf and slope of the central Brazilian coast, between Salvador, in Bahia (13°00 S- 38°31 W) to São Tomé Cape, in Rio de Janeiro State (22°12 S - 41°15 W). Samples were taken in 222 stations, during 4 oceanographic cruises (1996-2002). Sampling was made basically using rectangular dredges, Van Veen grab and a box-corer.
