Summary

Unlike tropical corals, cold water corals do not need light and can develop at depth. The builder species like Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora occulata are found worldwide and are present from Norway to Greece as carbonated mounts or reefs. Threatened by changing environmental conditions and anthropogenic actions, cold water corals are currently classed as a vulnerable ecosystem by several international institutions. Indicators to measure the impact of fisheries and the effectiveness of protection measures in European waters are still missing.

The European CoralFISH project is designed to investigate the interaction between the coral, fish and fisheries using an ecosystem approach. One objective of this study is to characterise their habitats from the geological shapes of the sea bed.
