Abstract
Field data on the pelagic occurrence of Corophium volutator were obtained in 1981–82 in the Dollard (Ems estuary). The pelagic population density averaged over a tidal half cycle was in the range 0–15 m-3. The pelagic population represents about 0.06% of the benthic population. On most sampling days pelagic occurrence resulted in a net flood surplus transport.Keywords
