Notes: * on Ditrupa. Mode of life: I = infaunal, E = epifaunal. Number of live foraminifera per 10 cm3 sediment. The redox boundary lies in the 1-2 cm layer for MD6, 3-4 cm layer for MD7 and the 4-5 cm layer for SN6. Shelf data from Murray (1985). Blue shading indicates greater than or equal to 10 individuals.
