M.AtUB.Ro.DeeSpo.RetAxi Reteporella and Axinellid sponges on Atlantic upper bathyal rock and other hard substrata
Published date 2015-03This biotope occurs on cobbles and pebbles on sandy sea bed possibly associated with shallow iceberg ploughmarks, characterised by Axinellid and massive lobose sponges, cup sponges and bryozoan Retep...
M.ArMB.Sa.InfPol Mixed infauna dominated by polychaetes in Arctic mid bathyal sand
Published date 2015-03All 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...

Published date 2015-03Brittle star Ophiomusa lymani and associated species on mixed sediments. This may be found overlain on top of another assemblage. Actiniaria, Cerianthidae, Crinoidea, Holothuroidea, Ophiomusa lymani,...
M.AtLB.Ro.MixCor.DisSol Discrete Solenosmilia variabilis colonies on Atlantic lower bathyal rock and other hard substrata
Published date 2015-03This biotope is a deeper variant of discrete Lophelia pertusa colonies where L. pertusa is replaced by S. variabilis occuring on bedrock. The same assemblage was recorded on coarse sediment but assoc...
M.AtUB.Co.SpaEnc.SpoSer Pale encrusting sponges and serpulids on Atlantic upper bathyal coarse sediment
Published date 2015-03This biotope consists of gravel substrates with few visible epifauna only encrusting forms. The same assemblage was recorded in the Atlanto-Arctic and Atlantic mid bathyal zones but associated infau...

Published date 2015-03This biotope is a deeper variant of discrete Lophelia pertusa colonies where L. pertusa is replaced by Solenosmilia variabilis occuring on coral rubble. The same assemblage was recorded on rock but a...
M.AtMA.Mu.CriCom Crinoid dominated community on Atlantic mid abyssal mud
Published date 2015-03This 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...
