EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Marine biologists studied the diverse epifauna attached to the rocky underwater reef structures. Crabs and sea stars form a vital part of the coastal epifauna community in shallow waters. Pollution in ocean currents can severely impact delicate epifauna living on seabed surfaces. The research vessel collected sample specimens of benthic epifauna from the ocean floor today. Dense layers of epifauna provide food and shelter for various larger marine fish species.
