CR.MCR.EcCr Echinoderms and crustose communities
Published date 2015-03This biotope complex occurs on wave-exposed, moderately strong to weakly tide-swept, circalittoral bedrock and boulders. Echinoderms, faunal (Parasmittina trispinosa) and algal crusts (red encrusting ...
CR.MCR.CFaVS Circalittoral faunal communities in variable salinity
Published date 2015-03This biotope complex occurs on wave-sheltered, variable salinity bedrock and cobbles, subject to moderately strong to weak tidal streams. This complex contains a suite of sponges able to tolerate the ...
CR.MCR Moderate energy circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This habitat complex mainly occurs on exposed to moderately wave-exposed circalittoral bedrock and boulders, subject to moderately strong and weal tidal streams. A few biotopes (FluCoAs.X, FluHocu) al...
SS.SMu Sublittoral cohesive mud and sandy mud communities
Published date 2015-03Sublittoral mud and cohesive sandy mud extending from the extreme lower shore to offshore, circalittoral habitats. This biotope is predominantly found in sheltered harbours, sea lochs, bays, marine in...
CR.MCR.CMus Circalittoral mussel beds on rock
Published date 2015-03This biotope complex occurs on moderately wave-exposed upper circalittoral bedrock subject to strong or moderately strong tidal streams. This complex is characterised by dense aggregations of the muss...
CR.MCR.EcCr.CarSp.Bri Brittlestars overlying coralline crusts, Parasmittina trispinosa and Caryophyllia smithii on wave-exposed circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This variant is typically found on the upper faces of wave-exposed circalittoral bedrock or boulders subject to moderately strong to weak tidal streams, on open coasts. However, the depth at which the...
SS.SMx.SMxLS Sublittoral mixed sediment in low or reduced salinity (lagoons)
Published date 2015-03Shallow, muddy mixed sediments in areas of low or reduced, although stable, salinity (may vary annually) with largely ephemeral faunal communities. Characterised by infaunal oligochaetes, including Ba...
CR.MCR.EcCr.FaAlCr.Bri Brittlestars on faunal and algal encrusted exposed to moderately wave-exposed circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This variant is typically found on the upper faces of exposed and moderately wave-exposed circalittoral bedrock, boulders and cobbles subject to moderately strong to weak tidal streams. It is characte...
M.ArMB.Sa Arctic mid bathyal 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...
CR.HCR.XFa.FluCoAs Flustra foliacea and colonial ascidians on tide-swept moderately wave-exposed circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This biotope typically occurs on the upper faces of moderately tide-swept, moderately wave-exposed circalittoral bedrock or boulders (although a variant is found on mixed substrata). It most frequentl...
