LR.LLR.FVS.PelVS Pelvetia canaliculata on sheltered variable salinity littoral fringe rock
Published date 2015-03Lower littoral fringe bedrock or stable boulders and mixed substrata on very sheltered to extremely sheltered variable salinity shores characterised by a dense cover of the wrack Pelvetia canaliculata...
M.AtMB.Co Atlantic 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...
LR.LLR.F.Fves.FS Fucus vesiculosus on full salinity moderately exposed to sheltered mid eulittoral rock
Published date 2015-03Moderately exposed to sheltered mid eulittoral bedrock and large boulders characterised by a dense canopy of the wrack Fucus vesiculosus (Abundant to Superabundant). Beneath the seaweed canopy the roc...
SS.SMx.CMx.ClloMx.Nem Cerianthus lloydii with Nemertesia spp. and other hydroids in circalittoral muddy mixed sediment
Published date 2015-03In sheltered muddy sandy gravel with appreciable quantities of surficial cobbles, pebbles and shells a community similar to SS.SMx.CMx.ClloMx may develop with frequent Cerianthus lloydii and other bur...
M.AtLA.Co Atlantic lower 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...
M.AAUB.Mx Atlanto-Arctic upper bathyal 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.AtUB.Co.SolScl Solitary scleractinian field on Atlantic upper bathyal coarse sediment
Published date 2015-03This broad community is characterised by dense aggregations of solitary cup corals (Caryophylliidae and / or Flabellidae) on sediments including mud and sandy mud and coarse sediments. The species com...
M.AtMB.Mu.BurAne Burrowing anemone field in Atlantic mid bathyal mud
Published date 2015-03This broad community includes sediment biotopes where burrowing anemones are the dominant fauna. On Atlantic mid bathyal mud, the community comprises Cerianthid anemones such as Pachycerianthus.
LR.FLR.CvOv.BarCv Barren and/or boulder-scoured littoral cave walls and floors
Published date 2015-03Mid and upper shore mobile boulders/cobbles on cave floors and the lower reaches of cave walls which are subject to scour are generally devoid of macro-fauna and flora. However, where light is availab...
CR.MCR.EcCr.CarSwi.Aglo Caryophyllia smithii, Swiftia pallida and Alcyonium glomeratum on wave-sheltered circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This variant typically occurs on sheltered, ridged, circalittoral bedrock or boulders subject to only weak tidal streams, but may be found in somewhat more exposed conditions. It is found in water dep...
