C.4.3 The Distribution of Epifaunal Species of Interest
Figures 35-38 illustrate the di stribution of key characterising taxa across the area of interest.
Figure 35 illustrates the distribution of Crangon allmanni abundance across the survey area.
Crangon allmanni is a common shrimp which is typically found across areas of sandy substrate in depths between 20-250m.
Crangon allmanni was the most abundant epifaunal organism sampled from acro ss the EAOW zone. Fi gure 35 reveal s that high abundances of Crangon allmanni were recorded across the northern sector of Area B.
