Biology and Sensitivity Key Information reviews for species are placed on-line as they are completed, pending referees comments, and are labelled 'Full review'. The un-refereed Key Information reviews are presented in DRAFT form only, and comments would be gratefully received. Once refereed, the referee is identified on the relevant Web page. Basic information (UK distribution, species description, habitat preference and importance) are presented for the other species listed.
Species are listed according to the classification and nomenclature in 'The species directory of the marine fauna and flora of the British Isles and surrounding seas' (Howson & Picton, 1997).
Use of information on these Web pages are subject to MarLIN's terms and conditions.
