Frequency, density and biomass of copepoda species for several stations in the Oosterschelde, Grevelingen and the Eems-Dollard sampled between 1976 and 1983. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Willems, K.A. (1989). Verspreiding, ecologie en gemeenschapsstructuur van benthische copepoden in het Delta-gebied en de Eems-Dollard (Nederland). PhD Thesis. Rijksuniversiteit Gent, Faculteit der Wetenschappen: Gent. 2 vol. (440, 198) pp.
