MB1-51α - Faciès et association de la biocénose coralligène (en enclave)

Facies and association of coralligenous biocenosis (in enclave)

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

As a rule, the Coralligenous biocenosis is extremely rich and varied. It can be found as an enclave in cavities in the infralittoral in the habitat of infralittoral algae, and also dense Posidonia oceanica meadow. In both cases, the facies is found in conditions where the light is extremely dim. The Coralligenous as an enclave in the infralittoral can also form small discontinuous organogenous formations that are sparser than those of the circalittoral.
