Resumo: | The  influence  of  sampler  type  on  quantitative  estimates  of  deep-sea  meiobenthos  is  examined  by  an  indirect  statistical  comparison  of  box  corer  and  multiple  corer  samples  collected  throughout  the  northeast  Atlantic,  and  by  a direct comparison  of  contemporaneously  collected  multiple  corer  and  box  corer  samples  from  a single abyssal location.  The  data  strongly  support the suggestion  that  the greater  down-wash/bow  wave  associated  with  box  corers results  in  displacement  of  surface  sediments  and  any  superficial  detritus  layer  together  with  their  associated  fauna.  Total  metazoan  meiobenthos  density  estimates  from  box  corer  samples  are  about  half  those  from  corresponding  multiple  corer  samples  Sampler type may  also  influence  the  faunal  composition  of  both  the  metazoan  and  protozoan  components  of  the  meiobenthos.
