Overview: 

Time series data on species composition and biomass or abundance of macrozoobenthos in the Belt Sea and the Baltic proper by the Research Institute Warnemünde are available at OBIS. The OBIS compiled data includes species name, individual count, lat/lon, and some environmental correlates like depth and salinity.
