Nephtys hombergii and Tubificoides spp. in variable salinity Atlantic infralittoral soft mud

Variable salinity soft infralittoral mud and sandy mud characterised by the polychaete Nephtys hombergii and oligochaetes of the genus Tubificoides. Other characterising species that may be present are the polychaetes Streblospio shrubsolii and Aphelochaeta marioni, and the cumacean Diastylis rathkei typica. $$$Situation: The biotope is found in areas of silt deposition in soft and sandy muds but may not form a stable habitat. It may be found adjacent to MB6-252, separated by the abundance of Aphelochaeta marioni and its more cohesive sediments
