Part of home range used for foraging. It may include nesting territory, or be isolated from it.

The unobstructed distance of ocean over which wind or waves can travel. See alsoWave exposure.

Annual or perennial algae with fine and filamentous thallus, growing attached to hard substrate or other organisms.

In zoology, a form of food procurement in which food particles or small organisms are randomly strained from water. Passive filter feeding (sessile animals that rely on currents for food delivery) is found primarily among the small- to medium-sized invertebrates and active filter feeding (mobile animals) occurs in a few large vertebrates (e.g., flamingos, baleen whales).

Coast with narrow and long bay with parallel and sub-parallel beaches and great depth, which formed as result of glacial activity, shifts in river valleys and tectonic rifts.

After hatching, the surrounding environment of the newly-hatched fish larvae. See also Fish reproduction habitat. An area that provides the necessities of fish larval survival and growth.

The surrounding environment of the young-of-the-year (YOY) juvenile fish. Usually the spatial coverage of the nursery habitat is larger than the larval habitat.

For some demersal fish species the spawning and larval habitats can be the same or exist very close to each other, and are referred to as the reproduction habitat.

The specific area where the fish eggs are laid and, for the non-pelagic spawners, embryological development takes place. See also Fish reproduction habitat.An area that provides the necessities of fish spawning.
