Abstract

Benthic oxygenation strongly influences the character of infaunal communities and the ichnofabrics they produce in marine mud substrates. Trace fossil diversity and size parameters (burrow diameters, vertical penetration depths) provide the basis for recognizing oxygen-related ichnocoenoses, the stratigraphic distribution of which can help reconstruct temporal changes and spatial gradients in paleo-oxygenation. Although the trace fossil approach has some limitations and can be further refined, ichnologic proxies for benthic oxygenation can be applied effectively towards a better understanding of paleoceanographic conditions in ancient basins and the hydrocarbon-source potential of marine mudrocks deposited therein.

Abstract

Following an extensive bottom animal (zoobenthos) sampling expedition in early summer 2000, nine different faunal assemblages (communities) have been identified in the sublittoral offshore waters from the North of the Doggerbank to the inner parts of the German Bight (Deutsche Bucht). The characteristics of these communities are presented, and their specific values for protection measures are indicated. Special attention is given to complex biotope areas where rare species and rich mosaics of communities occur. Since many of these areas fulfil the ecological criteria for sandbank and stone reef habitats of the European Habitats Directive, they have been proposed for site protection (see figure 1 in chapter 4).
