This dataset shows the relative probability of occurrence of (or suitability for) a benthic community with the following parameters: Karakteristiske arter/taxa (Indikatorarter): Funiculina quadrangularis, Halipteris christii, H. finmarchia, Halipteris sp., Kophobelemnon stelliferum, Pennatula phosphorea, Pennatula sp., Pennatulacea indet., Protoptilum thomsoni, Stylatula elegans, Virgularia mirabilis, Virgularia. sp.,

This dataset shows the relative probability of occurrence of (or suitability for) a benthic community with the following parameters: Karakteristiske arter/taxa: Antho dichotoma, Axinella infundibuliformis, Axinellidae indet, Phakellia ventilabrum, Phakellia sp., Mycale lingua. Substrat: Hardbunn (dominans av: grus, stein, blokk eller bart fjell) dominert av en eller flere hardbunnsbunntyper i blanding. Tetthet av karakteristiske arter: > 20 kolonier per 100 m2. This corresponds to the habitat listed by ICES as “Hard-bottom sponge aggregations”.

The GeodataHI map application shows some of Institute of marine research map data : Habitats and bio tops, Distribution of fish, Distribution of sea mammals, Distribution of other species, and Oceanographic geographic relations.

Shell sand occurrences show areas in the coastal zone with information about shell sand on the seabed, either based on mapping in the field or modeling. Sediments with a calcium carbonate content > 50% and consisting of whole or crushed calcerous shells are described as shell sand or shell gravel.
