M.AtLB.Mu.EreCor.AcaArb Acanella arbuscula assemblage on Atlantic lower bathyal mud
Published date 2015-03This biotope is composed of dense aggregations of the Isidid octocoral Acanella arbuscula on sandy silts and fine grained oozes. It is likely to be functionally similar to a seapen field. Gage (1986)...
M.AtMB.Ro.BarCom.BatHir Bathylasma hirsutum assemblage on Atlantic mid 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 upper bathyal, but the ...
M.AtMB.Co.UrcCom.CidUrc Cidarid urchin assemblage on Atlantic mid bathyal coarse sediment
Published date 2015-03This biotope is characterised by sparse and occasionally agreggated Cidarid urchins on gravelly sand substrates. The same epifaunal assemblage is also found on sand and in the upper bathyal but associ...
M.AtMB.Ro.BraCom.DalSep Dallina septigera and Macandrevia cranium assemblage on Atlantic mid bathyal rock and other hard substrata
Published date 2015-03Biotope dominated by the brachiopods Dallina septigera and Macandrevia cranium. Brachiopod dominated assemblages have been observed from multiple locations with the UK deep-sea occuring on bedrock, be...

Published date 2015-03Biotope dominated by the brachiopods Dallina septigera and Macandrevia cranium. Brachiopod dominated assemblages have been observed from multiple locations with the UK deep-sea occuring on bedrock, be...
M.AtMB.Ro.MixCor.DisLop Discrete Lophelia pertusa colonies on Atlantic mid bathyal rock and other hard substrata
Published date 2015-03This biotope occurs on bedrock, cobbles and boulders and isolated drop stones. Small growths of Lophelia pertusa and often Madrepora occulata are present. Lophelia pertusa reef framework may also be p...
M.AtUB.Sa.UrcCom.GraAcu Gracilechinus acutus norvegicus assemblage on Atlantic upper 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 mi...
M.AtLB.Mu.UrcCom.GraAle Gracilechinus alexandri, Psilaster and Plinthaster assemblage on Atlantic lower bathyal mud
Published date 2015-03This biotope consists of urchin Gracilechinus alexandri with seastars on mud substrate. Gage (1986) describes an assemblage from the continental slope west of the Hebrides (Rockall Trough) between 140...
M.AtUB.Mu.SpnMeg.KopFie Kophobelemnon fields on Atlantic upper bathyal mud
Published date 2015-03This biotope is composed of dense aggregations of seapens of the genus Kophobelemnon (in the UK likely to be Kophobelemnon stelliferum) on mud. Kophobelemnon fields are also found in the mid bathyal z...
M.AtUB.Sa.CriCom.LepCel Leptometra celtica assemblage on Atlantic upper bathyal sand
Published date 2015-03This biotope consists of dense aggregations of the crinoid Leptometra celtica on sand in the upper bathyal. It occurs at the shelf edge and in the heads of canyons. It is likely that the fast currents...
