M.AtMB.Sa.CriCom Crinoid dominated community on Atlantic mid bathyal sand

Published date 2015-03

This broad community contains assembages where crinoids dominate the fauna. Crinoid assemblages are found typically in areas with higher current speeds that facilitate filter feeding, such as the shel...


M.AtLB.Mx.SurOph Surface dwelling ophiuroid community on Atlantic lower bathyal mixed sediment

Published date 2015-03

This broad community consisting of assemblages characterised by brittle stars (ophiuroids) which lie on the surface of the seabed. They can occur in isolation or be overlain onto other broad communiti...


M.AtLB.Sa Atlantic lower bathyal sand

Published date 2015-03

Deep-sea sand sediments have a diverse infaunal community dominated by polychaetes. Epifauna tend to be sparse, mobile species, or burrowing fauna such as anemones and brittlestars visible at the surf...


M.ArMB.Mu.InfPol Mixed infauna dominated by polychaetes in Arctic mid bathyal mud

Published date 2015-03

All infaunal communities in the deep-sea are dominated by polychaete species with a diverse range of other taxa including bivalves, amphipods and sipunculids. Species level data were not available for...
