Counts on epibenthos and fish species sampled in October 1994 by beam trawling in the mangroves and seagrass beds of Gazi Bay (kenya). Minimum and maximum standard length of fish was measured. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Boone, A. (1996). Epibenthische gemeenschappen in een tropische baai (Gazi Baai, Kenya)= Epibenthic communities in a tropical bay (Gazi Bay, Kenya). MSc Thesis.

The epibenthos (demersal fish and macro-invertebrates) were sampled during the day at 30 different locations with a fine mesh beam trawl (mesh width 6 mm). Sampling occurred in the east creek, west creek, connecting creek and the intertidal and deeper parts of the bay. In total, 5947 individuals were caught, belonging to 118 fish species and 133 species belonging to other taxa such as Mollusca, Echinodermata, Crustacea,...
