Description:
Grab samples were taken at seven stations (10-58 m) in the Hanö bay in July-August during the period 1970-78. A high percentage, 26 - 60 %, of surviving adults (females) were found. At stations shallower than 38 m increasing population densities of Oiastylis rathkei were found until 1975 after which they decreased again. The population increase was found to be positively correlated to high water temperature during the previous winter. At 43 m depth the population changes were numerically small. Variations in the oxygen regime in the Bornholm basin caused the population changes at 58 m depth.
