Biocenosis of Mediterranean mediolittoral sands

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Mediolittoral sands are characterised by the annelids Ophelia radiata and Scolelepis squamata, the isopod crustacean Eurydice affinis and the pelecypod mollusc Donacilla cornea. Coarse sands encourage the settlement of Ophelia radiata, and fine sands that of Scolelepis squamata, while Donacilla cornea often avoids calcareous sands.
