sediments, including medium to coarse sand (Marine Species Identification Portal, Roe et al., 2007, Reich et al., 2010).
119. The other groups (a, c and d) were all formed by singletons and their characteristics are summarised in Table 3.5. The major difference when compared to the main group h is the higher content in mud, which is confirmed by the presence of tube‐ dwelling shrimp Callianassa subterranea, known to prefer muddy sediments and the muddy fine sand species Kurtiella bidentata (MarLIN, 2006).
120. The distribution of the statistical groups is presented in Figure 4.11 and the species highlighted by the SIMPER analysis as driving the differences between groups are presented in Figure 3.12.
