East Anglia Offshore Windfarm: Zonal Environmental Assessment Benthic Report
Figure 36 provides insight into the distribution of Buglossidium luteum across the EAOW zone. Buglossidium luteum is a fish which is commonl y found offshore on sandy and muddy bottoms. This species was amongst the most abundant and wi dely distributed of the taxa sampl ed during the course of the EAOW zonal surveys.
Figure 36 r eveals that abundances of this taxon varied between 1 an d 276. Buglossidium luteum was considerably more abundant within Area A than it was in Area B. Within Area B areas of high Buglossidium luteum abundance were limited to the north- eastern fringes of the zone.
