Ecology Infaunal, strong positive correlation with % coarse sand and negative correlation with fine sediment and %TOC off Scotland; typical of boreal shelves bathed in warm Atlantic Water (Mackensen and Hald, 1988); superior competitor in food- and oxygen-rich sediment and resistant to disturbance by macrofaunal predators (de Stigter et al., 1998); organic flux, range 1.5–60, optimum 5–30 g m-2 y-1 (Altenbach et al., 1999) but sediment grain size may be more important than organic flux (Murray, 2003b).
