Abstract
The quantitative distribution of meiobenthos from 70 m to 1116 m is di scussed. The nematodes are the main group in eumeiobenthos, the juveni les of polychaetes predominate in pseudomeiobenthos. The decrease of t axonomic diversity is due to the increasing depth. The quantitative di stribution of meiobenthos correlates with the type of bottom sediment.
