Definition | Rock and other hard substrate have more diverse epifaunal communities than sediment as species attach to the hard surface that in turn attract more fauna. Deep-sea rock is generally encrusted in a range of species including sponges and cold water water corals. Rock includes bedrock, mixed substrate of pebbles, cobbles and boulders, and isolated drop stones. It can occur in a mosaic with sediment habitats. Other hard substrate include carbonate and hard clay as well as artificial surfaces. Rock does not have an infaunal community, with the exception of boring species. | |
