Check list of species (algae, invertebrates and vertebrates) found in the vicinity of the island of helgoland (North Sea, German Bight) — a review of recent records

Abstract

The species lists presented for benthic macroalgae, invertebrate and vertebrate species presented are extracted from recent publications (from 1977 to date). The lists summarize the species composition of the intertidal and subtidal hard-bottom communities around Helgoland. Additional information is supplied for the species composition of the “Steingrund” and “Tiefe Rinne”. The lists do not claim completeness, but have been intended to provide a working platform for further listings and for comparison with data published earlier.
