M.AtUB Atlantic upper bathyal
Published date 2015-03Atlantic waters are warm (typically >8°C within the UK) and Atlantic seabed habitats occur around most of the UK, excluding depths greater than 300 m in the Faroe-Shetland Channel. The upper bathyal i...
M.ArMB.Sa Arctic mid bathyal sand
Published date 2015-03Deep-sea sand sediments have a diverse infaunal community dominated by polychaetes. Epifauna tend to be sparse, mobile species, or burrowing fauna such as anemones and brittlestars visible at the surf...
M.ArMB.Mx Arctic mid 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.ArLB.Mu Arctic lower bathyal mud
Published date 2015-03Deep-sea mud sediments have a diverse infaunal community dominated by polychaetes. Epifauna tend to be sparse, mobile species, but aggregations of erect fauna such as glass sponges, seapens and soft c...

M.AtUB.Bi Atlantic upper 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....
