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...
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.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.AtUB.Sa.BurOph Burrowing ophiuroid community on Atlantic upper bathyal sand
Published date 2015-03This broad community consisting of assemblages characterised by brittle stars (ophiuroids) that bury in soft sediments with on the tips of the arms visible at the surface. Species may differ with dept...
M.AAUB.Mx.DeeSpo.GeoSpo Geodia and other massive sponges on Atlanto-Arctic upper bathyal mixed sediment
Published date 2015-03This biotope has been found at approximately 500m on the eastern slopes of the Faroe-Shetland Channel, it principally consists of rather small sponge specimens but that practically carpet the seafloor...
M.AtUB.Ro Atlantic upper bathyal 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...
M.AtLB.Sa.UrcCom.GraAcu Gracilechinus acutus norvegicus assemblage on Atlantic lower bathyal sand
Published date 2015-03This biotope consists of aggregations of Gracilechinus acutus norvegicus (previously Echinus acutus norvegicus) on sand substrate. The same epifaunal assemblage is also found on mud and sand in the up...

Published date 2015-03This broad community consisting of assemblages characterised by brittle stars (ophiuroids) that bury in soft sediments with on the tips of the arms visible at the surface. Species may differ with dept...
LS.LMu.MEst.NhomMacStr Nephtys hombergii, Macoma balthica and Streblospio shrubsolii in littoral sandy mud
Published date 2015-03Soft mud with a fine sand fraction, in variable salinity conditions, typically close to the head of estuaries. The infauna is dominated by the polychaete worm Streblospio shrubsolii, the polychaete Ne...
