Table 2.

Density and total biomass of polychaetes (Arenicola marina—Amar—and Hediste diversicolor—Hdiv) cultured in the same tank with halophytes (Salicornia ramosissima—Sram) (1 T) or in two separate tanks (2 T) at day 120. Average values ± SD (n = 5).

IMTA design	Density	Total biomass
IMTA design	(ind. m⁻²)	(g m⁻²)
1 T Amar + Sram	3 ± 2	2.4 ± 2.7^a
1 T Amar + Sram	3 ± 2	(0.2 ± 0.3)
2 T Amar + Sram	5 ± 3	5.5 ± 3.9^a
2 T Amar + Sram	5 ± 3	(0.5 ± 0.4)
1 T Hdiv + Sram	3993 ± 1496	98.4 ± 25.7^b
1 T Hdiv + Sram	3993 ± 1496	(13.5 ± 3.7)
2 T Hdiv + Sram	4425 ± 540	77.5 ± 11.2^b
2 T Hdiv + Sram	4425 ± 540	(10.8 ± 1.5)

Different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between IMTA designs. The values between brackets indicate the dry weight biomass.
