Epifaunal Communities

Epifaunal Communities is a biological assemblage of macrobenthic organisms that reside on or above the seafloor sediment surface in deep-sea environments, distinguished from infaunal communities by their primary association with hard substrata, biogenic structures, or the sediment-water interface rather than burial within the sediment matrix.
