Turritella shells common, also Ensis and Venerupis senegalensis shells (both single and double valves, so the animal, quite likely to be nearby). are Dosinia exoleta and Mya truncata most abundant shells. No siphon holes noticed, but this might be attributable to sledge disturbance and always looking ahead rather than vertically down. Echinus occasional, and frequent Asterias rubens. One or two Marthasterias and Astropecten. Burrowing anemones - one Cerianthus lloydii seen. Hydroids few, but several colonies of Nemertesia ramosa on larger shells and pebbles, along with Antithamnion sp.. Whole habitat on western 1/3 of loch very barren and gave the appearance of having been dredged - although no dredge marks were observed. Five point abundance scale used. NOTE: Substratum % data are converted from the original substratum 1-3 scoring system.

The seabed from 17-22m was a mixture of muddy, coarse shell gravel and stones. Stones were encrusted with Pomatoceros triqueter and Serpula vermicularis and several infaunal polychaetes were present. Large populations of decapod crustacean were present with Palaemon serratus, Hyas araneus and Hyas coarctatus common and Munida bammfica, Pisidia longicornis, Macropodia tenuirostris and Anapagarus hyndmanni occasional or frequent. Turritella communis was abundant in the muddy gravel. Stones also supported large populations of Tectura virginea, Lepidopleurus asellus, Pododesmus spp. and a high density of encrusting bryozoans. Raw data sheets muddled. Treat species list with caution. NOTE: Substratum % data are converted from the original substratum 1-3 scoring system.
