    • Abstract:
      The article presents the study which examined the predator-prey interactions in the intertidal systems. It particularly evaluates the temporal patterns in abundance and predation pressure by juvenile plaice and flounder on the Balgzand intertidal macrobenthos to determine the effects of predation by juvenile plaice and flounder in the Balgzand macrozoobenthic community. The data used in the study are the NIOZ fyke net programme and the NIOZ Balgzand high-water initiative, which were both taken from the western Dutch Wadden Sea.
