4. Axinella spp. aggregation on upper circalittoral rocky bottom DESCRIPTION: OCEANA has recorded two species of the genus Axinella creating large aggregations: A. dissimilis and A. polypoides. Species like Eunicella verrucosa and/or Phakellia ventilabrum and/or Artemisina transiens form up large facies that mix with aggregations of these species. Other common species in this habitat is Holothuria forskali. Although these fields are formed on the shallowest area of the circalittoral zone, the bathymetric distribution of this species is broader, so its presence can be registered in less deep areas. Although they are not considered large aggregations that should therefore be included in this report, we would like to highlitgh the presence of large facies of Axinella dissimilis on seabed and rocky walls at a depth of 25 metres. DEPTH: 50 - 64m TYPE OF SUBSTRATE: on rocky subtrate, partial or totally covered by sand or on rock in sandy-rocky mixed seabed. Axinella spp. aggregations on upper circalittoral rocky bottom in the galaico-cantabrian area (North of Spain). 61
