Discotomini are a group of large, intertidal sediments that form on the continental margins and in shallow coastal areas. They are characterized by their characteristic irregular shape and texture, which can vary from smooth to rough. These formations often occur in combination with other features such as bays, estuaries, and lagoons.
Coscinodiscales are a type of intertidal zone on the continental shelf, typically occurring in shallow waters near the coast and often forming as a result of the movement of the sea bed. These zones are characterized by thick layers of sedimentary rock that can vary widely in thickness and composition.
The term "intertidal" describes a region on or near the shore, where marine life is found at depths below the waterline.
Percanalian fish, also known as pelagic fish or intertidal fish, are aquatic animals that live in bodies of water and are not part of a marine ecosystem. They primarily feed on algae, which they obtain from the bottom of the ocean. This type of fish is distinguished by its streamlined body shape, high metabolic rate, and ability to swim at night.
