Sampling comments: "stations were selected... from June 2012 to March 2013... At each sampling station, two replicate samples of benthos sediments were collected monthly using a 0.1m2 van veen grab... The sediment collected was sieved through a 0.5mm mesh sieve... In the laboratory, each sediment sample was washed through 0.5mm and 0.2 mm mesh size sieve"
