Abiotic parameters and densities of meio-and epifauna taxa and nematode genera present at several depths in the cages, half cages and blanco's of an Avicennia marina and Ceriops tagal mangrove at Gazi Bay sampled between 06 August and 27 September 1992. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Steyaert, M. (1993). Structurele en trofische relaties tussen meiobenthos en epifauna in Ceriops mangroves (Gazi Bay, Kenya); Structural and trophic relationships between meiobenthos and epifauna in Ceriops mangroves (Gazi Bay, Kenya).
