M.AtUB.Sa.UrcCom.CidUrc Cidarid urchin assemblage on Atlantic upper bathyal sand
Published date 2015-03This biotope is characterised by sparse and occasionally agreggated Cidarid urchins on sand substrates. The same epifaunal assemblage is also found on coarse sediment and in the mid bathyal but associ...
M.AtUB.Bi.CorRee.LopPer Atlantic upper bathyal live Lophelia pertusa reef (biogenic structure)
Published date 2015-03Scleractinian coral reefs formed predominantly by Lophelia pertusa in the upper bathyal zone. Lophelia attaches to any hard substrate present and then grows outwards forming a hard reef structure. Lop...
M.ArLB.Bi Arctic lower bathyal biogenic structure
Published date 2015-03A biogenic structure is formed when reef-forming species, such as cold water corals, attach to any hard substrate present and grow over the surrounding area forming a secondary substrate over the top....
M.AtMB.Sa.UrcCom Urchin dominated community on Atlantic mid bathyal sand
Published date 2015-03This broad community contains biotopes that are dominated by urchins and occurs on sediment. The species of urchin and associated species varies with depth and substrate type. On Atlantic upper and m...
M.AtMB.Mx.XenCom.SyrFra Syringammina fragilissima field on Atlantic mid bathyal mixed sediment
Published date 2015-03Assemblage characterised by dense aggregations of the xenophyophore Syringammina fragilissima on mixed sediment. Associated species will vary with depth but may include squat lobsters (Munida), Ophiur...
M.AtUB.Bi.CorRee Atlantic upper bathyal cold water coral reef (biogenic structure)
Published date 2015-03Reefs formed by Scleractinian corals. In the Atlantic upper bathyal the reef forming species is Lophelia pertusa. Coral reef attaches to hard substrate, but can be found on sediments where corals init...
M.AtMB.Co.UrcCom Urchin dominated community on Atlantic mid bathyal coarse sediment
Published date 2015-03This broad community contains biotopes that are dominated by urchins and occurs on sediment. The species of urchin and associated species varies with depth and substrate type. On Atlantic upper to mi...
M.ArMB.Co.BurAne Burrowing anemone field in Arctic mid bathyal coarse sediment
Published date 2015-03This broad community includes sediment biotopes where burrowing anemones are the dominant fauna. In Arctic mid bathyal coarse sediment, the burrowing anemones have been tentatively identified as Halca...
M.AtMB.Sa.BurAne Burrowing anemone field in Atlantic mid bathyal sand
Published date 2015-03This broad community includes sediment biotopes where burrowing anemones are the dominant fauna. On Atlantic mid bathyal sand, the community comprises Cerianthid anemones which are likely to be a diff...
M.AtUB.Ro.BarCom.BatHir Bathylasma hirsutum assemblage on Atlantic upper bathyal rock and other hard substrata
Published date 2015-03Biotope dominated by the barnacle Bathylasma hirsutum. Observed on bedrock in high current areas. Barnacle coverage may not be dense. This assemblage was also identified in the mid bathyal, but the as...
