Figure 6.4 Photographs of some example seabed habitat types observed during
towed video camera transects. A, turbid muddy inshore seabed, with filefish;
B, bioturbated silty inner shelf seabed; C, coarse outer shelf sediment with sparse
biota; D, large bioturbation mounds in offshore sand; E, scoured rocky seabed in
extreme current area; F, soft corals in strong current channel; G, gorgonian garden
on hard ground; H, bryozoan rubble in strong current channel; I, rippled sand in inshore high current area; J, crinoids on sand in offshore strong current area; K, shoal
ground in deep water; L, Ulva growing on patches of coralline algae at shelf edge;
M, diverse algae and coral near shelf edge; N, dense algal bed (Caulerpa); O, seagrass (Halophila spinulosa) bed; P, Halimeda algae bank. (Photos: CSIRO.)
