LR.FLR.CvOv.GCv Green algal films on upper and mid-shore cave walls and ceilings
Published date 2015-03The upper walls and ceilings of upper and mid-shore hard and soft rock (chalk) dominated by a band of green algal films (or 'stains'). Other encrusting algae including the non-calcified Hildenbrandia ...
M.AtUB.Co Atlantic upper 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...
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.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...
CR.HCR.FaT.CTub Tubularia indivisa on tide-swept circalittoral rock
Published date 2015-03This biotope is typically found on the vertical and upper faces of strongly tide-swept, wave-exposed circalittoral bedrock and boulders. It is characterised by a dense carpet of the robust hydroid Tub...
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...
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...
SS.SSa.OSa Offshore circalittoral sand
Published date 2015-03Offshore (deep) circalittoral habitats with fine sands or non-cohesive muddy sands. Very little data is available on these habitats however they are likely to be more stable than their shallower count...
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...
M.AtMA.Mx Atlantic mid 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...
