MB1-26 - Communautés animales sur roche en milieu à salinité variable ou réduite de l'infralittoral en Atlantique

Faunal communities on variable or reduced salinity Atlantic infralittoral rock

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Shallow subtidal rocky habitats which support faunal-dominated communities, with seaweed communities only poorly developed or absent. In some sealochs dense mussel Mytilus edulis beds (MB1-261) develop in tide-swept channels, whilst upper estuarine rocky habitats in the south-west coast rias may support particular brackish-water tolerant faunas (MB1-262; MB1-263).
