1. Infralittoral detritic and soft bottom dominated by Veretillum cynomorium DESCRIPTION: Within the Rías Baixas (Galicia, Spain), between 15 and 20 m depth, very large fields of Veretillum cynomorium are formed over bioclast bottoms. In these detrictic bottoms made up by remains of shell debris, brittle stars (Ophiocomina nigra) are very common, forming up abundant facies mixed with the Veretillum cynomorium fields. Other echinoderms are also abundant in these communities forming this way the more abundant and diverse group. In some areas rhodoliths are also found. TYPE OF SUBSTRATE: detritic subtrate with bioclast and shell debris. Soft substrates dominated by Veretillum cynomorium on infralittoral bottoms in Galicia (Spain) 71
