Abstract
Macrofauna density and bioturbation intensity (measured with X-ray radiography), were studied in the Dutch Wadden Sea near Ameland and in Mok Bay, Texel, in September 1988. The bivalveMacoma balthica and the polychaeteHeteromastus filiformis were widely distributed in the areas studied. The cockleCerastoderma edule and the polychaeteScoloplos armiger did not occur in areas with high clay content, while the molluscsHydrobia ulvae andMya arenaria preferred fine sediments. The polychaeteNereis diversicolor preferred the higher parts of the intertidal. In the Ameland area disturbance of primary sediment structures was highest near the shore and near the middle of the tidal confluence where physical reworking was low. The sheltered Mok Bay sediments were completely reworked by deposit-feeders. Bioturbation intensity and deposit-feeder (bioturbator) density were, however, not highly correlated. A number of stations showed higher bioturbation towards the surface and this may be related to the high abundance of near surface dwelling macrofauna, due to eutrophication and organic enrichment of the sediments in recent years.
