The benthic fauna of an eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) community has been investigated at Roscoff (France) from October 1977 to April 1979. The impact of the 'Amoco Cadiz' oil spill of March 1978 on the comnlunity was studied. Direct effects on the eelgrass itself were only local during the first weeks after the spill, when many plants had black, 'burnt' leaves. This was, however, a temporary phenomenon, for the production of new leaf tissue continued normally. Effects on the benthic fauna were observed directly after the arrival of the oil at Roscoff. A sharp decrease in numbers of both individuals and species occurred mainly caused by an almost total disappearance of the smaller Crustacea and Echinodermata, and a serious numerical decrease in other groups. Recovery took place relatively rapidly. In the beginning of 1979 all numbers were at the same level as the year before, the filter feeding Amphipoda being the only exception: on 1 May 1979 they were still absent.
