Flyndre and Cawdor Environmental Statement Section 3 Environmental Baseline Polychaete dominance can be considered typical of North Sea sediments, and they are generally found to account for approximately 50% (Eleftheriou and Basford, 1989). This pattern of polychaete dominance was also recorded in previous surveys of the area (Gardline 2007; 2009). The results of the macrofaunal survey suggest this community within the proposed development area is highly diverse with 289 taxa being represented in the samples collected along the proposed pipeline route. The 289 taxa were made up of 124 Polychaeta, 69 Crustacea, 63 Mollusca, 15 Echinodermata and 18 others including sea pens and anemones (Gardline, 2011). The variation in the faunal community recorded over the pipeline route survey appeared to correlate with changes in sediment characteristics, most notably the proportions of finer sediments (

Spawning and nursery areas cannot be defined with absolute accuracy and are found to shift over time. The spawning and nursery grounds of some commercially important species within the North Sea are shown in Figures 3‐6, 3‐7 and 3‐8. Given that spawning and nursery grounds do shift over time it is worth noting that species such as cod and whiting have identified spawning grounds less than 90 km south of the proposed development area while nursery grounds for mackerel, cod and sandeels have been identified less than 60 km to the east.
