Densities of the most important meiobenthos phyla in an Avicennia marina mangrove sediment in Gazi Bay (Kenya) together with the sediment environmental data. Three replicate samples were taken for every monthly sample between August 1992 and July 1993. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Okondo, J. (1995). Community structure and seasonal fluctuation of meiobenthos in the Avicenna marina mangrove sediments at Gazi Bay, Kenya. MSc Thesis. RUG: Gent. 56 pp.
