SS.SMu.CSaMu Circalittoral sandy mud
Published date 2015-03Circalittoral, cohesive sandy mud, typically with over 20% silt/clay, generally in water depths of over 10 m, with weak or very weak tidal streams. This habitat is generally found in deeper areas of b...
M.ArMB Arctic mid bathyal
Published date 2015-03Within the UK, Arctic seabed habitats occur at depths greater than 600 m in the Faroe-Shetland Channel. The cooler Arctic waters (typically below 0°C) are subducted below Atlantic waters meaning the u...
CR.HCR.XFa Mixed faunal turf communities
Published date 2015-03This biotope complex occurs on wave-exposed circalittoral bedrock and boulders, subject to tidal streams ranging from strong to moderately strong. This complex is characterised by its diverse range of...
CR.MCR.CSab Circalittoral Sabellaria reefs (on rock)
Published date 2015-03This biotope complex occurs on moderately wave-exposed, circalittoral bedrock, boulders and cobbles subject to moderately strong tidal streams. It is characterised by dense crusts of the polychaete Sa...
CR.HCR.XFa.Mol Molgula manhattensis with a hydroid and bryozoan turf on tide-swept moderately wave-exposed circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This biotope is typically found on slightly sand-scoured, tide-swept, moderately exposed circalittoral bedrock and cobbles. It is commonly recorded from the shallower reaches of the circalittoral arou...
M.ArMB.Co Arctic mid bathyal coarse sediment
Published date 2015-03Deep-sea coarse sediment has not been sampled widely for infauna so little is currently known about infaunal community structure. Epifauna tend to be sparse mobile species or burrowing fauna such as a...
M.AtLA.Mx Atlantic lower abyssal mixed sediment
Published date 2015-03Deep-sea mixed sediment has not been sampled widely for infauna so little is currently known about infaunal community structure. Epifauna tend to be sparse mobile species. In the absence of ecological...
M.AtUA.Sa Atlantic upper abyssal sand
Published date 2015-03Deep-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...
