M.AtMB.Ro.BarCom Barnacle dominated community on Atlantic mid bathyal rock and other hard substrata
Published date 2015-03This broad community includes all biotopes where barnacle species are the dominant fauna. The species of barnacle will vary with depth and location. This community is found on rock and associated fau...
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.HCR.DpSp.PhaAxi Phakellia ventilabrum and Axinellid sponges on deep, wave- exposed circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This biotope typically occurs on the upper faces of deep (commonly below 30m depth), wave-exposed circalittoral rock subject to negligible tidal streams. Although it occurs in exposed and very exposed...
LR.LLR.F.Fspi.X Fucus spiralis on full salinity upper eulittoral mixed substrata
Published date 2015-03Moderately exposed to sheltered full salinity upper eulittoral mixed substrata characterised by a band of the wrack Fucus spiralis. Occasional clumps of the wrack Pelvetia canaliculata can be overgrow...
CR.MCR.EcCr.FaAlCr.Sec Alcyonium digitatum with Securiflustra securifrons on tide-swept moderately wave-exposed circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This variant is typically found on the upper and vertical faces of moderately wave-exposed circalittoral bedrock subject to moderately strong to weak tidal streams. The rock surface is dominated by Al...
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.ArUA.Ro Arctic upper abyssal rock and other hard substrata
Published date 2015-03Rock and other hard substrate has a more diverse epifaunal community as species attach to the hard surface that in turn attract more fauna. Deep-sea rock is generally encrusted in a range of species i...
CR.MCR.CMus.Mdis Musculus discors beds on moderately exposed circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This biotope typically occurs on the upper faces of moderately exposed, moderately tide-swept bedrock, boulders and cobbles in slightly silty conditions. The mussel Musculus discors occurs in dense ma...
M.AtMA.Co Atlantic mid abyssal 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...
LS.LSa.FiSa.Po Polychaetes in littoral fine sand
Published date 2015-03Moderately exposed or sheltered beaches of medium and fine, usually clean, sand, though the sediment may on rare occasions contain a small silt and clay fraction. The sediment is relatively stable, re...
