Abstract

The total number of meroplankton larvae collected off the Bay of Blanes (NW Mediterranean) on 12 April 1995 ranged from 113 to 203 ind. m-3. Bivalve veligers were the most abundant, followed by polychaete larvae, among which those from the hesionids, spionids and nephtyds were dominant Larval abundances were higher in the deeper half of the water column and decreased just near the bottom, except in the shallowest confined site.
